How can I use the copies?

Copies can be used for the educational purposes of the University. They may be placed in the Library, retained by teaching staff to show in class or distributed to students as a resource in connection with their course of study. Copies cannot be loaned to other institutions, but we may make a copy for another educational institution with a Screenrights licence.
