Ever listened to a preview on iTunes? Shared a magazine article with a friend? Used an image from the web in a presentation? If you said yes, you’ve used fair dealing!
February 22-26 marks Fair Dealing Week in Canada (counterpart to Fair Use Week in the U.S.). Fair dealing is a user’s right in the Copyright Act that lets Canadians make use of copyright-protected content without payment or permission for eight purposes:
- Research
- Criticism
- Review
- Private study
- Education
- News reporting
- Parody
- Satire
To mark the occasion, join us in the library lobby on Thursday, February 25th from 11:30am-1pm. Our copyright experts will be on hand, answering questions and serving up cupcakes (while supplies last). Try your hand at copyright trivia and enter to win a Starbucks gift card!
