Copyright and Fair Dealing
February 27, 2025 at 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Are you a graduate student who is working on your thesis or dissertation? Do you want to learn how to use copyrighted material in your research, and how to protect your own rights as an author? If so, this workshop is for you!
In this workshop, you will learn how to:
- Understand the basics of copyright law and how it applies to your thesis
- Seek and obtain permission from copyright owners when needed
- Use fair dealing and other exceptions to copy and share other people’s works in your thesis or dissertation
- Understand your choices for cIRcle, UBC’s institutional repository, and select a suitable Open Access license for your work
- Publish your thesis in a journal or book, negotiate your publishing contract, and ensure that articles you have previously published are eligible for inclusion within your thesis or dissertation, as appropriate.
The workshop will be presented by a copyright librarian, who will provide you with practical tips and resources for your thesis or dissertation journey. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions. If you have detailed questions, you can book a follow-up, one-on-one appointment with the copyright librarian.
