Introduction
The purpose of this website is to inform staff and students of the College's obligations to comply with copyright legislation, the principal Acts being the Copyright and Related Rights Acts 2000 and 2004. Copyright is a species of legal protection that applies to a number of categories of work, principally the 'artistic' categories of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, and categories of work which approximate to these traditional categories, such as computer programmes.

The main focus of this website is the copying of teaching materials for educational purposes.
