FLEX is a cloud-based tool that enables licensed educational providers to share content from a variety of sources, including: scanned extracts, digital original files supplied by publishers and an on-demand scanning service.
The Copyright Agency developed the online product to make the task of preparing course reading material simpler and faster for librarians and educators.
Developed in partnership with librarians
FLEX has now been successfully trialed and adopted in libraries at many private education providers in Australia and is included as part of the Copyright Agency Statutory Education Licence. In the UK, librarians from nearly 80% of Further Education Colleges and Universities use a similar product.
