The University of Hull holds the Copyright Licensing Agency's HE Licence,  which enables University staff to make digital or print copies for students from most published books and journals, subject to the following limits per module:

Taken from a book or journal which is part of the University's collections (print or online)* Maximum 1 chapter or 10% of a book (whichever is greater)  Maximum 1 article from any issue of a journal 1 short story or poem from an anthology (max. 10 pages) Only available to students taking the module concerned (ideally via ReadingLists@Hull), for the duration of the module. *If the Library does not stock the publication, a copy can be made from a book or journal article legally sourced by the lecturer, until the Library is able to acquire the material for stock.

Lecturers and tutors who intend to provide students with digital copies (scans) of printed texts for course reading should use the Library's Digitization Service, to ensure compliance with licence terms.  Requests for digitization should be submitted via ReadingLists@Hull.

August 2020:  The Library's Digitization service has now restarted, following temporary suspension during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Almost all of the Library's e-books and e-journals can be accessed off-campus, and an increasing number of authors take advantage of opportunities to publish their work on an open access platform.  Instead of making copies,  you can create an online reading list for students with direct links to the Library catalogue and subscribed or free resources:
