Question:
I am a teacher - may I use cartoons from the BCA catalogue in my teaching?
Answer:
You may use material from the BCA catalogue for teaching purposes within your school, college, or university, if you give suitable credit. You should identify the BCA as the source of the cartoon, and also give the name of the cartoonist, the publication, and the date. An example would be
British Cartoon Archive: Michael Cummings, Daily Express, 4 January 1965 http://www.cartoons.ac.uk/record/06646
In addition to using material from the BCA catalogue, most UK schools and educational bodies are also permitted to copy cartoons from current newspapers under their licence from the NLA (Newspaper Licensing Association). For more information, or to obtain a licence, visit www.newspapersforschools.co.uk or contact:
The Newspaper Licensing Agency, Church Road, Wellington Gate, Tunbridge Wells, TN1 1NL, Tel: 01892 525 273 / Fax: 01892 525 275 / www.nla.co.uk
UK schools, colleges, and universities can also obtain a licence from JISC (the Joint Information Systems Committee) which permits them to download high-resolution images of many cartoons on the BCA catalogue without charge, including all of Carl Giles’ work. You can then use these high-resolution images for teaching purposes within your institution. For details visit the JISC Collections website at www.jisc-collections.ac.uk
