    Brief

    This is a collective licensing agreement (CLA) for higher education institutions, specifically designed for the University of Bath (UoB). The CLA Higher Education Licence OCBS allows institutional users to copy and use excerpts from published works within the CLA's repertoire for educational purposes, including course materials, research, and student resources. The licence covers a broad range of printed and digital publications and simplifies permissions management for universities. Institutions benefit from a single blanket licensing agreement that eliminates the need to seek individual permissions for each work used, reducing administrative burden while ensuring copyright compliance. This licence is suitable for universities seeking comprehensive coverage of copying and content usage rights across their campus community.
