Images and artworks

The following conditions apply to copying artworks for educational or administrative purposes within the University.

Conditions

• Copies may be distributed in hard copy or electronic form.
• All electronic copies must contain a warning notice and must only be communicated to students or staff (i.e. not on publicly accessible websites).

Examples of works

• All of a work that has not been separately published

  For example: A diagram in a book that has not been published, for example as a postcard or a poster, can be reproduced in full.

• All of an artwork that accompanies or explains the text being copied

  For example: A photo that is included in a page of text being copied can be reproduced without having to investigate whether it has been separately published.

• All of an artwork copied from an electronic source

  For example: An artwork copied from an electronic source, e.g. on a website, can be reproduced without having to investigate whether it has been separately published.
