Fair Dealing

An exception in the Copyright Act allows an individual to make a copy for the purpose of research or private study or for the purpose of criticism and review as long as the original source is credited.  The University of Calgary adopted the ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES OF CANADA (AUCC) FAIR DEALING GUIDELINES on January 1 2011, and they should be examined when requiring material for personal use, for interlibrary loan or for print reserve readings.
