3. CLA Licence and Product Innovation
• Customer-driven evolution of products in all sectors
• Based on delivering rights+content+workflow+data solutions
o Rights – simple licensing solutions
o Content – born-digital content within the platform
o Workflow – bespoke tools for each sector
o Data Collection – collecting usage data seamlessly and digitally

4. Higher Education

5. DCS Evolution
• The DigitalContent Store (DCS) is an optional web-based platform
launched in 2016 and used by more than 145 HEIs in the UK and Ireland
• The DCS is available to Higher Education Licensees at no additional cost
• It combines a searchable crowdsourced repository of scanned book and
journal extracts with an online workflow management tool
• Later in 2022 we will be enhancing the DCS with the addition of born-
digital content direct from publishers, further streamlining the workflow
for coursepack management and improving quality of content available to
students
• Currently we have over 120,000 books available from 14 publishers

6. About CLA
• Not-for-profit company limited by guarantee and owned by publishers,
authors and visual creators
• Licensing body offering collective blanket licences permitting limited
copying from millions of books, magazines, journals and websites
• Around 100 employees in London and Edinburgh
• CLA administers licences and collects sample data on usage to inform
distribution of licence revenue to rightsholder organisations
• Funded by 11% subvention on licence revenues

7. EHESS and Document Supply
• Under EHESS, British Library continues to provide CFP copies and
outsourced scanning services for HEIs
• CLA-licensed document supply, including EHESS CFP, moved to a
per-chapter fee structure for books from April 2022
• Publisher-set pricing model with a default price (based on the
average) of £27 per chapter at launch
• The ‘Pay CFP’ pilot will continue until at least July 2022 (pending
review) for HEIs that wish to pay a copyright fee to purchase digitised
extracts where a scan has already been sourced from the CLA Digital
Content Store (DCS) or elsewhere

8. Further Education and
Schools

9. Education Platform Evolution
• The Education Platform is an online platform for all schools and FE colleges holding
the CLA Education Licence
• It provides access to digital versions of books and magazines, allowing teaching staff
to copy and share up to 5% of a book in line with the licence terms
• The Education Platform also provides CLA with data to support fair distribution of
licence revenue to rightsholders
• More than 20% of UK schools in the UK and 20,358 teachers are registered on the
Education Platform.To date, almost 10,000 copies have been made from the 38,000
books and magazines on the Platform provided by 50 publishers
• There are over 12,500 books and magazines relevant to the FE sector on the
Education Platform

10. Data Collection Innovation
• All-digital strategy: We have partnered with Papercut to integrate an option into college
and school MFDs that automatically sends scanned content to CLA
• Automation and AI: We are developing a Google Classroom app that fingerprints
educators’ digitised content and matches them to rightsholders content in EP
• Data Quality: Our Data Collection Platform (My Content) helps educators identify the
works they are reusing, improving the quality of data collected at the source
• Teacher Tools: EP is piloting tools that allow teachers to store their copied content,
whilst providing us with information on what is being reused as part of their workflow
• Behavioural Insight: New survey-based data collection methodologies will offer deeper
insight into changing educator behaviours.
