As educators, we sometimes need to curate and use copyrighted works. While the limitations of copying from books and journals are widely known, it will be good to familiarize ourselves with the educational exceptions covered by the Copyright Act.
For example, you want to upload one article from a journal to Blackboard as recommended reading for your students. This is allowed but the law also requires you to declare and complete a Record Form for institutional copying.
Here are more useful resources to get you started!
1) Copyright Guide - Learn more about Copyright basics, exceptions and more!
2) Copyright for Educators - Go through the e-learning module developed by Librarians.
