The fair dealing provision in the Copyright Act permits use of a copyright-protected work without permission from the copyright owner or the payment of copyright royalties. To qualify for fair dealing, two tests must be passed.
 
First, the “dealing” must be for a purpose stated in the Copyright Act: research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, satire or parody. Educational use of a copyright-protected work passes the first test.
 
The second test is that the dealing must be “fair.” In landmark decisions in 2004 and in 2012, the Supreme Court of Canada provided guidance as to what this test means in educational institutions. This Fair Dealing Policy applies fair dealing in non-profit universities and provides reasonable safeguards for the owners of copyright-protected works in accordance with the Copyright Act and the Supreme Court decisions.

This booklet gives teachers user-friendly information on copyright law, covering items from the Canadian Copyright Act and its regulations, contractual and tariff arrangements with copyright collectives, and court decisions.
 
This booklet is available in print and on-line. The on-line version will be updated as changes in the copyright law take place. It provides information about copyright law and copyright collectives and how they relate to the use of resources on and off school premises. More detailed information is available from many printed sources, from the Internet, and from your ministry or department of education. A list of sources appears at the end of this booklet. Education departments and ministries, as well as school boards across the country, encourage awareness of and respect for copyright in our education systems.

This guide contains information of The Chicago Manual of Style method of document formatting and citation.  These resources follow the sixteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style, which was issued in September 2010.

MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities.  This resource, updated to reflect the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th ed.) and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (3rd ed.) offers examples for the general format of MLA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the Works Cited page.
 

This guide provides an overview of APA (American Psychological Association) style and where to find help with different APA resources.  It provides an annotated list of links to all of the Purdue Owl materials and an APA overview.  It is an excellent place to start to learn about APA format.
