Obtaining Permission

With the permission of the copyright holder you can copy whatever is agreed and make as many copies as agreed.  Look on the publisher's website for information on rights / permissions / clearance: some websites offer online clearance.  When seeking permission bear in mind the following:

  • Allow plenty of time.  It can be difficult to track down the right person and publishers can take several weeks to reply.
  • Get it in writing and keep it for future reference.
  • Be aware that the copyright owner may impose conditions and costs.
  • Do not assume that no reply equals consent.
