The reformed Copyright Act (UrhG) comes into force on 1 March 2018. The changes also affect some of our services.
Copy delivery via interlibrary loan
You can now order copies of up to 10% of books and copies of entire articles from specialist periodicals or scientific journals via interlibrary loan. Copies from newspapers or general-interest magazines (so-called kiosk magazines) as well as copies for commercial purposes are not possible.
Scans for digital course reserves
With immediate effect, scans of up to 15% of books and scans of entire articles from specialist periodicals or scientific journals can be included in digital course reserves on Moodle. Again, scans from newspapers and general-interest magazines (so-called kiosk magazines) are not possible.
