Author: John Tooth

ISBN 978-0-88802-345-2
Price: $39.95
Canadian Copyright in Schools and School Libraries addresses copyright issues that typically arise in those educational settings. The author’s goal is to provide some direction to help school staff across Canada answer copyright questions in their daily work. This publication offers some focus for the reasonable handling of copyright issues based on legal interpretation and case law.
John Tooth is a professional librarian and educator with an MLIS from the University of Western Ontario, an MEd and PhD from the University of Winnipeg.
After a brief retirement, John accepted a position as Copyright Officer and Head of the Copyright Office for the University of Winnipeg Library beginning in October 2012. Prior to this, he was coordinator of the Instructional Resources Unit of Manitoba Education, and served as the copyright consultant for the Department and for schools for some 35 years. He now undertakes education and copyright consulting work.
John has worked on copyright agreements/tarrifs at the provincial and national levels, written on copyright issues, presented locally an nationally on copyright concerns, advocated for copyright reform through the Canadian Library Association’s Copyright Advisory Committee and as the Manitoba representative on the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada, Copyright Consortium, and addressed user questions about operating in Canada’s confusing and highly interpretative copyright world.
John is not a copyright lawyer, but rather an active participant in the copyright debate working with and learning from the library, education, and legal professions specializing in copyright, from other copyright neophytes, and from answering endless great questions asked by inquisitive and confused teacher-librarians, other school library staff, and school administrators.
Reviews
Anita Brooks Kirkland, MLIS, said:
“Copyright is a complex topic, and the copyright landscape for educators has changed drastically over the past few years. Educators are also frequently confused by American copyright laws and practices, inundated as we are with advice from south of the border. With John Tooth’s new book, we finally have a comprehensive Canadian resource to guide educators in every aspect of Canadian copyright.”
Judith Sykes, School Libraries Advisory Committee, said:
“As a vibrant companion to the most current Copyright Matters (3rd Edition), copyright authority John Tooth provides a concise, expertly written interpretation of print and digital copyright law for Canadian schools in clear and easily read prose using examples familiar to schools to enhance understanding.”

The guide is intended to provide concise accessible information about Canadian copyright law for those who conduct research in Canadian libraries and archives in order to understand how copyright works and how to apply the rules to particular situations. The term ‘researcher’ includes all those who consult the resources of libraries and archives for any purpose, whether the outcome is a dissertation, a family tree, a school project, or the answer to a question of personal interest. The librarians and archivists who serve researchers will also find it useful when responding to questions about copyright; however, the guide does not cover the administration of copyright matters in a library or archives.
