| From "Copyright Matters" (2005) Teachers can • copy and perform extracts from a work protected by copyright, unless the part is highly significant or valuable (courts make the final determination whether a "dealing" is "fair") • copy or perform works whose author(s) died more than 50 years ago (but not translations or annotations of such works) • use any work protected by copyright with the permission of the copyright owner • copy the text of federal and Ontario statutes, regulations, and court decisions without permission • make a single copy of works, such as articles or photographs, protected by copyright for private study, research, criticism, review, or news reporting under the sections of the Copyright Act that allow such uses of copyright material — referred to as "fair dealing" • copy a work protected by copyright by hand onto a surface normally used to display handwritten material, such as a blackboard, whiteboard, or flip chart • copy a work protected by copyright for the purpose of overhead projection using a device such as an LCD, overhead, opaque, or slide projector, provided the work is used for the purpose of education and training and is not already available in a commercial format • copy an entire work (other than a cinematographic work) onto an alternative format including translation, adaptation, and COPYRIGHT MATTERS! 6 performance in public (except the making of a large-print book) for the purpose of serving students with perceptual disabilities as long as such an adaptation is not already commercially available in that format Exceptions under the Copyright Act permit additional things to be done by libraries, including those in schools, that would infringe copyright if there were no exceptions. These include • making a copy of a work "if the original is rare or unpublished and is deteriorating, damaged, or lost" — provided a replacement copy is not commercially available • making a copy of a fragile document for on-site consultation if the original cannot be viewed because of its condition — provided a replacement copy is not commercially available • making a copy if the original is in an obsolete format or the technology to use the original is unavailable — provided a replacement copy is not commercially available • making a copy for the purpose of cataloguing or internal record keeping or for insurance purposes or police investigation • making a copy for the purpose of restoration |
