Research or private study - Can I get someone else to copy material for me for my research or study? Librarians of certain libraries prescribed under the Copyright Act may copy a “reasonable proportion” of a literary, dramatic or musical work or an article from a periodical, if you request it for the purpose of your research or private study. Another person may be able to make you a copy if their employer organisation has a copyright licence which allows him or her to copy the material you want for you. For example, organisations that have a licence with Copyright Licensing Limited allow staff to photocopy extracts from books and journals for student or staff use. < back to previous page
