The rights to curriculum and other required learning material in the form of book excerpt must be cleared in BOLK when it is copied and made available to students. BOLK is primarily a rights clearance system, but in most cases BOLK will also deliver a file of the cleared book excerpt.
PS! Note that if the University Library has purchased access to the e-book, you do not need to BOLK-clear the reference.

To make BOLK requests, you have to be registered with a user account in BOLK. Read more about BOLK and how to be registered here.

Once you have gotten your user account, you can log into BOLK with FEIDE.

3. To specify the pages you will be using, click on the book's title.

If you intend to use several different sections of the book, you can separate these with a comma, e.g. 33-36,40-43. If the number of pages adds up to more than 15% of the book's content, you will be told that you will need to request an extended rights clearance. This can be done in the last step of the registration, and KopiNor will contact you within 10 working days. Click Add excerpt to coursepack.
