Non-profit copyright licensing solution provider Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), US, has added more than 9 million rights to its licensing services for academic institutions. The company added more than 1 million rights for leading foreign and domestic books, scholarly journals, newspapers and magazines under its Annual Copyright License for Academic Institutions and photocopy rights for more than 8 million foreign works under its Pay-per-use service.
Since introducing the Annual Copyright License in the summer of 2007, CCC has worked with academic librarians, key rightsholders and organisations around the world to secure the necessary rights to a total of 1.5 million leading titles under the annual subscription service, and more rights are being added daily. Among the rightsholders to most recently join the program are Taylor and Francis Journals, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the University of Chicago Press, and Westminster John Knox Press.
The 8 million additional foreign works in CCC's Pay-per-use service are primarily books from Spain, Germany and France. These works are available to license for photocopy use in coursepacks, classroom handouts and interlibrary loan. CCC's Pay-per-use service, currently used by more than 1,000 colleges and universities, is available 24 x 7 at copyright.com.
