Copyright: keep your copying legal
All types of copying and printing are subject to copyright law. It is your responsibility to ensure you do not copy more than you are legally entitled to.
The Copyright Act prohibits multiple copying but allows you to make a single copy for personal study purposes. The following other limits generally apply:
- Books: no more than one chapter or 5% of the whole work.
- Journal articles: only one article from any one issue of the journal.
- Ordnance Survey Maps: up to 4 copies A4 size at the original scale
- Print disability: if you are a University of Bath student or member of staff with a visual or cognitive disability, these copyright restrictions do not apply. Copy and Print staff can make an accessible copy of up to an entire book, magazine or journal owned by the Library on your behalf.
