Universities

There are two statutory licence schemes for the copying and communication of works by universities. These are:

• the Hardcopy Licence, applying to copies made from a hard copy document. This includes paper to paper copies and paper to electronic copies; and
   
• the Electronic Reproduction and Communication Licence, which applies to reproduction in an electronic form (e.g. digital to digital) and communication of copies in a digital form (e.g. posting on an intranet).

Is your university licensed?

All public and most private universities throughout Australia are licensed for both the Hardcopy Licence and the Electronic Reproductions and Communication Licence. If you work in a private university, check with your administrators to ensure that you are licensed.
