The Publishers Licensing Society (PLS) has agreed an extension of the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) Document Delivery Licence with the British Library that allows the licensed supply of articles to overseas non-commercial end-users via overseas not-for-profit libraries at a special fixed rate.
The British Library plans to launch its International Non-Commercial Document Supply (INCD) service, with effect from January 1, 2012. It will initially run for a trial period of two years. The agreement is based on the Publishers' Association (PA) supported framework agreement recently agreed between the British Library and the International Association of Scientific, Technical & Medical Publishers (STM) and which they recommend to publishers.
The Publishers Licensing Society (PLS) represents the interests of publishers in the collective licensing of photocopying and digital copying. Together with the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society, PLS owns and directs the Copyright Licensing Agency and works in partnership with the Design and Artists Copyright Society. PLS is owned by the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers, the Professional Publishers Association, and the Publishers Association.
