CLASSROOM HANDOUTS:
In an educational setting, the majority of printed material will reflect a

desire by faculty members to supply students with "topical information".
That is to say, information for research and critical analysis. To a large
extent, this information will be used once or twice and then be discarded

in favour of still more topical information or additional research material.

Generally speaking, this "information type handout"' is limited to a press
run of several hundred and may be contained on 1 or 2 pages of 8 1/2!'' x
11'' - printed both sides.

When such material is used exclusively in the classroom setting, and when
such material is copied from trade journals or even consumer magazines, the
chances of copyright violation may be relatively slim.

In this regard the Copyright Act of Canada states:

Section 17: ACTS NOT CONSTITUTING INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT

Subsection (2) The following acts do not constitute an infringement of
copyright:
(a) any fair dealing with any work for the purposes of
private study, research, criticism, review, or news-
paper summary;

(d) the publication in a collection, mainly composed of
non-copyright matter, bona fide intended for the use
of schools, and so described in the title and in any
advertisements issued by the publisher, of short
passages from published literary works not themselves
published for the use of schools in which copyright
subsists, if not more than two of such passages from
works by the same author are published by the same
publisher within five years, and the source from
which such passages are taken is acknowledged;

(f) the reading or recitation in public by one person of
any reasonable extract from any published work;

Subsection (3) FURTHER EXCEPTIONS

 

No church, college or school and no religious, charitable
or fraternal organization shall be held liable to pay any
compensation to the owner of any musical work or to any
person claiming through him by reason of the public per-
formance of any musical work in furtherance of a religious,
educationa! or charitable object.

NOTE: POLICY (EFFECTIVE Monday, November 5, 1973)
