Copyright at Queen’s:

The Copyright Advisory Office (CAO) is dedicated to educating, supporting and engaging Queen’s faculty, students and staff in matters pertaining to the relationship between copyright, access to knowledge and learning, teaching, research and scholarly communications.

Teaching with Copyrighted Material

The CAO has developed a variety of resources to help you manage Copyright and teaching materials. Visit the Copyright webpage on the Queen’s library site or our Copyright and Teaching guide to get started.   

Using Library Resources

Queen's University Library also holds a number of separate licensing agreements with database and e-book providers. Copies of these works must be made according to the terms of the licenses negotiated with the individual publishers and vendors. 

How can I find out what use is permitted for items in library databases? Contact the Copyright Advisory Office or visit our licensing database to review the terms of the licensing agreements between the Queen's University Library and a specific database provider. For most of these databases, we recommend providing a link to the material in the library catalogue. 

How do you link to online material in the library collection? The creating course reading lists page includes step-by-step instructions for creating links that work both on and off campus.  

Need help with creating links? Send your course syllabus or reading list to the Copyright Advisory Office and we will add permanent links and send it back to you as soon as possible.
