The Copyright Toolkit can help!

As a member of the University you will encounter copyright issues during the course of your work and study, whether using other people's copyright works or creating your own. 

A University wide copyright toolkit has been developed to provide support in this area.  It provides lots of information about UK copyright law and applicable licences, and addresses some of the common scenarios that apply to activities carried out within the University .
