Copying Guidelines
Copyright law allows a reader to make a single copy of a part of a book for purposes of private study. It does not allow the copying of entire books or the making of multiple copies of extracts.
In some countries it is possible for schools to do a limited amount of photocopying under the terms of a license issued by a licensing agency such as the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) in the UK. The other circumstances in which photocopying of copyright material is permitted is when the publisher has designated a book or part of a book as 'photocopiable'. This special permission is always indicated clearly in the book, both at the front and on every photocopiable page. Many of the Teacher's Books that accompany Oxford ELT courses contain such 'photocopiable' material.
If a school wishes to have multiple copies of part of a book in a self-access center, then it must purchase the necessary number of printed books. There is no formal objection to schools physically cutting printed texts into parts and re-assembling them in any way that seems appropriate, providing the books or parts of books, are not then re-sold. It is not, however, a practice we would recommend.
In the case of audio recordings, it is permissible for a school to make a copy of an audio tape or CD, keeping the original as back-up. Only one copy may exist at any one time. A school may copy different parts of an original audio tape onto several cassettes, providing that no part of the original exists in more than one copy at any one time. Therefore, if a school wishes to have three copies of one part of an audio tape, it must have three originals.
No Copying, single or multiple, of video cassettes or DVDs is permitted.
It is illegal to make copies of our software programs. You may not copy disks of our software programs other than to make one copy for back-up purposes.
