If a researcher wishes to reproduce an item held within the archive collections (in part or in full) within their work, permission must also be obtained from the copyright holder. In some cases the copyright holder will not be Coventry University.
Responsibility for obtaining permission from the copyright holder rests with the researcher.
Some items may be photocopied, scanned or photographed (non-flash only), in accordance with copyright and other legislation, and any access restrictions. If copying is done using a self-service copier in the library, it must be carried out under supervision. Fragile or damaged items cannot be copied (only photographed).
Access restrictions may be in place for a variety of reasons including protection of personal information, copyright, closure periods (as required by legislation), and fragility of documents.
