Copyright Guide for Faculty

The JIBC Library is here to provide support for our instructors and staff on copyright compliance, in following with the JIBC Copyright Compliance Policy (3108), the JIBC Copyright Compliance Procedure (3108-001), and the Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-42). This guide is designed to aid our staff in proper presentation of educational material. It is not legal advice.

All JIBC faculty and staff must follow the JIBC Fair Dealing Policy when using third-party materials in course manuals, course packs, handouts, and posting to Blackboard courses. The JIBC Fair Dealing Policy is based upon the Colleges and Institutes Canada's (CICan) Fair Dealing Guidelines, published in 2012. Visit the Fair Dealing section of this guide for information as to what you can copy or post, or how to find alternative material.

The library hosts regular Library and Copyright Orientations for new and returning faculty and staff. These sessions are mandatory per the JIBC Copyright Compliance Procedure (3108-001). Check the Workshops page for more information.

We also host a Copyright Mini-Series of workshops where you can learn more about a specific copyright topic in 30 minutes or less.
