No. Sequential or serial copying and communication of chapters from a single book for the same module is not permitted.

If you require more than one chapter of a book for your course, you have two options: 

  • obtain explicit permission from the copyright owner (likely the publisher) to upload more than one chapter
  • the library can assist you with ordering and with placing copies of the book in the Reserve Books and Readings (RBR) for students to borrow and view short term. Find out how to Request to Place Library Materials in RBR.
