It is permissible to scan articles from hard copy versions of most national and international newspapers on the NLA list above and make them available to students via Moodle. The only exception is the Financial Times, which does not allow digital copying of complete articles; this includes copying of articles downloaded from City's digital subscription. However, copying up to 30 words of an article, or producing a summary in your own words of not more than 30 words are both permitted, to put on Moodle. In both cases there must be a link to the article included.
