4.2.5. Access for educational purposes
Some GLAMs permit reuse beyond what fair dealing would allow, particularly for educational purposes.
The Ashmolean Museum states that the "Collections Online has primarily been created for use by the education community" and permits use for "non-commercial educational purposes, including school higher education and further education students and employees for uses connected with education".[1] The Bodleian Libraries publishes content CC BY-NC 4.0. In addition, "to encourage wide engagement and reuse of collections for the purposes of private study, research, teaching, and educational instruction", the Library provides a list of additional permitted uses, such as: "in academic textbooks/e-books and academic books/e-books with print runs up to and including 3,000 copies" and "in journals/e-journals and academic newsletters".[2] This is restricted to inside use only.
Other GLAMs define educational uses by print runs and publications. The Victoria & Albert Museum reserves all rights on the website, but permits use of content: (1) for print based academic publications, "one-time use [] in publications with print-runs up to and including 4,000 copies, for one edition only"; (2) for academic e-publications, online journals, non-commercial websites and blogs, use "up to 5 years from the first day of publication"; and (3) for charities and non-profit organisations, "one-time use [] in print or electronic formats up to 4,000 print copies or 5 years online".[3] This latter distinction raises questions around the fairness provisions on standard use charges imposed by the PSI Regulation. Additional conditions apply: images cannot exceed A5 when printed or 768 pixels along the longest side online, they can be used only inside publications and the amount of V&A Content used must not exceed 25% of the total content used.
The National Portrait Gallery has extensive and varying policies for reuse of content under a (1) Professional Licence, (2) Academic Licence and (3) CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence.[4] Users must apply for the professional and academic licences or submit an email address to activate the download of CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 "low resolution images" (800 pixels wide at 72 dpi).[5] The Academic Licence for "high resolution images" (1500 pixels wide at 72 dpi) requires the user to register personal details and submit a request online for any "private, non-commercial research, use in a classroom, use in a dissertation or for scholarly and non-commercial publications" so long as the "combined print/electronic run is below 2,000 copies for books, or 4,000 copies for journals (and images are used inside (not on the cover)[...])".[6] Additional conditions are contained in the webpage specific to "The National Portrait Gallery Academic Licence".[7] Information and obligations relevant to the Academic Licence alone are spread across (at least) three different pages.
Other GLAMs condition educational use to be more restrictive than fair dealing would allow. To reproduce an image for research or educational use, Museums Sheffield requires the user to obtain permission via an email containing "as much detail as possible [] about your intended use of the image" but notes "[u]nfortunately we are unable to provide images that are currently in copyright
