Canadian Copyright law allows for copyright-protected works to be used in coursepacks.
The Fleming Campus Store facilitates the printing and sale of coursepacks. Where coursepacks contain copyright protected materials (articles, images, etc.) the Campus Store works with LAD Custom Printing (as of June 2024) to obtain the proper licensing for materials.
Step by Step Instructions for processing:
-
Once your course pack is complete, please send a PDF to Marcia Steeves for review and CC Diane Thompson, Course Materials Manager at 0939txt@follett.com - this review determines if the coursepack contains copyright protected material that requires licensing.
-
Where copyright protected material is identified, the faculty member must complete the a 'Citation Form' along with an 'Order Form' which outlines the production details, such as spiral bound, three-hole punch, loose leaf, etc. Please ensure you provide how many desk copies are required.
-
Forms are then sent along with the final PDF of the course pack to Skylar Bishop at Skylar@lad.pub and copy Diane Thompson, Course Materials Manager 0939txt@follett.com.
-
Skylar will respond to the faculty member regarding any missing information.
-
LAD will provide the campus store with an ISBN and pricing.
-
Campus Store will create a SKU to be sold at the POS or online.
The 'normal' processing time for a course pack to be created, printed, and on the shelf is approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
Alternatively, if it is identified that there is no copyright protected material in the coursepack (it is entirely the work of faculty and/or faculty have received the copyright owner's written permission to resell the material) and faculty have declared the coursepack does not violate copyright law. The Campus store will facilitate the printing of the coursepack and process for it for sale to students.
Copyright-protected material CANNOT be sold through the bookstore without permission. Fair Dealing does not apply if revenue is generated that goes beyond overhead (copyright-protected works can only be sold "at cost").
