The Copyright Information Office of the University Library has a website with main rules for just use of publications in teaching:

  • You can always link (not to illegal content); if necessary create an SFX-link.
  • Using Open Access content, such as is available in the Leiden Repository, is always allowed and recommended.
  • The use of content from journals for which the university has a license agreement with the publisher is allowed; look at the Terms of use licensed digital resources. The list of licensed publishers does not pertain to book articles.
  • Short copies are allowed (if bought through the PRO foundation), if you use citations. The reader agreement defines what a short copy is based on the amount of copied words; images, graphs, tables, overviews, photos, illustration etc. all count towards the maximum (of 200 words). Have a look at the main rules.
  • For longer copies you need to apply for permission and payment. You can do this through the PRO foundation portal; have a look at how longer copies without a license and links are to be registered.
  • How to digitally publish education materials, has been summarized by the Copyright Information Office.
