to reproduce unchanged parts or the whole of the deposited material and incorporate that material into another work or add that material to an existing collection of work;
to add notations or commentaries to any part, or parts, or the whole of a deposited material in such a way as to make it clear to subsequent users that the notations or commentaries did not form part of the deposited material. 
The use of deposited materials includes the right to make an adaptation of the deposited materials, as defined in the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000, and includes the right to add to, delete, amend, modify or comment upon the deposited materials, as long as it is made clear to subsequent users who are able to access, view or otherwise receive the adaptation, that the modified materials were not, in that form, the materials initially deposited in the Repository.  The adaptation must meet the requirement that the modification constitutes a fair dealing for the purposes of criticism or review, within the terms of S.51, and will contain a sufficient acknowledgement of the deposited materials and the moral rights relating to the deposited materials.  The right to make an adaptation includes the right to make the adaptation available to others for educational purposes. 
The use of deposited materials or adaptations of deposited material includes copying in non-electronic form, including Braille, for inclusion in course and study packs, subject to any statutory reprographic licence requirements.
