As you prepare course materials for the winter term, please bear in mind that copyright rules have changed recently. Because the university’s license with Access Copyright has not been renewed, the Dalhousie Print Centre cannot produce course packs or make copies of copyright-protected materials where the permission of the copyright holders of those materials has not been obtained. There are off-campus alternatives to the Print Centre where course packs can be produced under license. If you are using a Blackboard site to distribute materials to students, remember to post a link to the document rather than upload a digital copy.

The Copyright Office can assist if you have questions or if you need help obtaining permissions.

Check the Copyright Office website to see if your question is addressed there, or call or email Ian Colford (494-3687, ian.colford@dal.ca).
