Copyright Information

Under the Canadian Copyright Act, no one, even for educational purposes, may make copies of a substantial part of a book or article without the consent of the copyright owner.     

TRU Print Services pays for a License Agreement with Access Copyright, a copyright clearing house that allows for copying, under certain specific conditions, of copyrighted materials.

The September  2010 list of included and excluded publishers from Access Copyright is available for download .
If you wish to copy published material to give out to your students in class, the portion to be copied must not exceed an entire chapter which is 20% or less of a book, or otherwise be no more than 10% of the published work.

If you wish to obtain copyright clearance of published material please contact the Intellectual Property Office.
