Copyright legislation protects creative ideas and publications and affects us all.  There are though several exceptions to copyright law in the UK which apply to information used for educational purposes.  These are known as fair dealing  and are set out in the Copyright at UWS guide:

Private study exception - allows individual students to copy extracts from material for their own reference purposes:

• One article from any one issue of a journal.
•  One chapter or up to 5% (whichever is greater) of a book.
• One poem or short story of up to 10 pages from an anthology.

Non-commercial research exception

• One legal case report allows individual researchers to copy extracts from material for their own reference purposes.

Quotation, criticism or review – allows students, researchers and staff to quote short extracts from copyrighted works in essays, reviews and journal articles.

• A single extract of no more than 400 words.
• A series of extracts of no more than a total of 800 words, with no single extract exceeding 300 words.

Creating accessible copies for disabled users – allows individuals to copy work in accessible formats (i.e. adapting work into braille or adding subtitles):

• Personal copies of entire documents may be made provided for disabled learners as long as a copy of the document is owned by the institution, the author of the work is acknowledged and a statement is included that the copies are made under Section 31B of the CDPA.

[CDPA refers to Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988].
