Workshop on Canadian Copyright and the Internet

Workshop on Canadian Copyright Law and the Internet

February 17th, 2010

12:00 p.m. – 12:40 p.m.

Classroom 2 at the Bayview Campus (3377 Bayview Avenue)

Workshop description:

The main reason why Canadian Copyright law pertaining to internet resources is problematic is because there is no general policy. There are, however, some general guidelines and principles that teachers can abide by in order to use internet resources within the scope of copyright law.

The goal of this workshop is to teach users general principles such as “Terms of Usage”, “Open-Access”, “Creative Commons Licenses” and “Public Domain” materials and how each applies to the use of online resources within the scope of copyright policy.

This workshop is to complement and add to the knowledge that you gained through the Access Copyright talk that you attended in January.

To sign up for the workshop, please e-mail Mark Mueller (mmueller@tyndale.ca) or sign the workshop registration sheet in the green duo-tang at the Education Library Circulation Desk.

Please note: the content of this workshop is for informational purposes only and should not be used to substitute the advice of a copyright lawer.

J. William Horsey Library Renovation Update

Well the renovations are continuing in the library. Today we were closed for a couple hours around chapel time in the middle of the day. The guys working for Berkim Construction worked really fast and even clean up after themselves! They were tearing down part of the ceiling near the library entrance to make way for the air conditioning. What’s next? The windows. The lower level is first. That will be happening this week. Let’s pray for some warm weather! I really appreciate everyone’s cooperation. We still have some cold temps and noise to get through, but once it is done we will be basking in the glorious result! Yes, things will get better if we endure.
Thanks for your patience everyone!

What the Education Librarian is reading….

Canadian Copyright: a citizen’s guide by Laura Murray and Sam Trosow
ISBN: 978-1-897071-30-4

Back cover description

Copyright is fast becoming part of everybody’s life, and questions about copyright pop up all the time. Yet no resource has existed to explain Canadian copyright law to ordinary Canadians.

In straightforward language, using colourful examples and case studies, Murray and Trosow demystify the Canadian Copyright Act. Never dumbing down the issues, the authors explore practical concerns pertinent to a range of interest groups. Ultimately, they make a case for grassroots engagement in balanced legal reform.

About the authors:

Laura J. Murray is an Associate Professor in the English Department of Queen’’s University in Kingston, Ont., and creator of the website www.faircopyright.ca

Samuel E. Trosow is an Associate Professor at the University of Western Ontario in London; he is jointly appointed in the faculties of Law and Information and Media Studies.
