Copyright

The agreement under which Access Copyright manages copyright for most Canadian universities
expired on December 31, 2010.

Revisions to Trent University's procedures and policies are underway.

From CAUT:

There has been a good deal of controversy and conflicting advice regarding when copyrighted material may be copied without permission or payment to the copyright owner. CAUT is concerned that both users and owners of copyrighted material are treated fairly.

To that end, CAUT has prepared the document: Guidelines for the Use of Copyrighted Material. (Click to open the .pdf file.)

The document explains the legal foundation of copying rights and provides direction on its lawful exercise.

See the Trent Library document (in Word format) regarding Fair Dealing Guidelines.
