The Institute’s Intelligence Academy reproduces a number of texts for scholarly purposes, many of which are subject to copyright restrictions. Like many universities, think tanks and research centers, the Intelligence Academy relies on academic freedoms in order to share knowledge. The generally accepted limits for such copying within academic fair dealing (non-commercial) are:
- One copy of one article in a serial publication.
- One copy of one chapter of a monograph.
- Not more than 5% of any one text.
- Copies may not be distributed further by the borrower.
Outside these terms copyright protects the author from duplication of their work for 70 years after their death. Anonymous or corporate works are in copyright for 70 years after publication.
The Librarian may refuse copying on the basis of copyright or the protection of fragile works. Digital copying carries no charge but photocopying is charged at .15c per A4 sheet.
