You must complete the form to comply with UK copyright law.<br /> By ticking the box “Is your request for private study?” you agree to abide by the conditions of the 'The Copyright And Related Rights Regulations 2003'. You are confirming that your request is for a non-commercial purpose or for private study, and that you will not supply a copy to any other person.</p> <p>If your request is for commercial purposes, tick “Yes” in the section titled “Do you need copyright clearance?” For more information about this, read our FAQ below: "What should I do if my interlibrary loan request is for commercial purposes?”</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" id="headingNine" role="tab"> <div class="panel-title"><a aria-controls="collapseNine" aria-expanded="false" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseNine" role="button">How do I decide if my interlibrary loan request is for commercial purposes? </a></div> </div> <div aria-labelledby="headingNine" class="panel-collapse collapse" id="collapseNine" role="tabpanel"> <div class="panel-body"> <p>It is the responsibility of the person making or requesting the copy to decide whether or not its ultimate use is commercial. In this context, ‘commercial’ is taken to mean any use for which the primary purpose is the generation of money. Thus, a student thesis written for a company might well result in subsequent income generation for that company, but as its primary purpose at the time of writing is academic, it could be argued that it is not for commercial purposes.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" id="headingTen" role="tab"> <div class="panel-title"><a aria-controls="collapseTen" aria-expanded="false" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseTen" role="button">What should I do if my interlibrary loan request is for commercial purposes? </a></div> </div> <div aria-labelledby="headingTen" class="panel-collapse collapse" id="collapseTen" role="tabpanel"> <div class="panel-body"> <p>You will need to tick the “Do you need copyright clearance?” section at the bottom of the interlibrary loan request form.<br /> A member of our Document Supply Service team will then request the item under the British Library's Copyright Cleared service. This is a more expensive service - the library will cover the cost of a standard interlibrary loan, but any cost above this will need to be met by your department.</p> <p>Once you have completed the electronic request form, we will contact you to let you know how much the request will cost (the cost will differ according to the publication). If you wish to go ahead with the request you will need to supply the cost code that is to be debited.
