[Open-access] [open-science] Elsevier: some facts, by Tim Gowers

Afaik there is no fair use policy in Dutch law. We only have the right to cite phrases or sentences or small sections, and only under certain conditions.

However educational use has been granted by some publishers or is sometimes included in big deal contracts. In our Copyright LibGuide we have a list of what is allowed for faculty and students of Utrecht University (unfortunately only in Dutch): http://www.uu.nl/university/library/NL/informatie/auteursrechten/Documents/Auteursrechteninfopunt_uitgevers_UU.pdf

This tells you what is allowed in paper and electronic coursepacks. But of course this is all still very restrictive as it only allows use for and by Utrecht University members.
