Copyright Guide for Canadian Libraries - Canadian Library Association (CLA) and Wanda Noel (December 1999, 150 pages).
This guide provides library staff with basic copyright information. It sets out who is protected by copyright, what is protected and for how long. It describes the rights copyright provides to creators and the limitations that are placed on those rights for the benefit of libraries and library patrons. Knowing these rules will permit libraries to provide maximum service to their patrons while remaining within the confines of the copyright law.
This printed guide includes the complete text of the Copyright Act and regulations pertaining to book importation and library exceptions. CLA members will be able to copy freely from the guide.
The guide is now out-of-print. It is, however, available through many Canadian libraries.
