Help CARL communicate the value of fair dealing within Canada's copyright ecosystem

Fair Use/Fair Dealing Week 2018 runs from Monday, February 26 to Friday, March 2.

During this week, academic libraries and other organizations inform the broader community about their right to deal fairly with works and how this legal provision promotes freedom of expression and equitable access to copyright-protected materials. Canada's federal government is currently reviewing the Copyright Act, which makes it particularly important that the value and role of fair dealing be made clear as part of the broader discussion.
