Under the Canadian Copyright Act (Section 29.5), a film may be shown in the classroom as long as: 

• It is for educational purposes/training
• It is shown on University premises
• It is for university students, staff or faculty
• It is a legally obtained copy

YouTube videos or similar may also be shown in class unless: 

• The work is protected by digital locks preventing its performance.
• A clearly visible notice prohibiting educational use is posted on the website or on the work itself.
• You have reason to believe that the work available is in violation of the copyright owner's rights.

Films for entertainment purposes are not covered under Fair Dealing.

The Library has subscribed to “Entertainment Use Rights” licenses with Audio Cine and Criterion, allowing broader viewing than just classroom use.

You may watch videos for non-educational purposes if: 

• The film is covered by the Audio Cine or Criterion licenses. Use the search bars on the websites to see if your desired film is included.
• The film is free. Charity uses are allowed, but only if cost is purely by donation. 
• The primary audience is UNBC students, staff or faculty
• Any advertising targets the university (Campus media, not off-campus)

These licenses cover all indoor and outdoor campus screenings for Criterion. For the Audio Cine collection, if you wish to show an outdoor screening, please contact the Library Copyright office. Not all film studios in that collection allow for outdoor screenings. 

Anything else is not covered and separate entertainment rights will need to be purchased or acquired. Please contact Library Copyright to arrange this. 

If you are planning to use, post, or distribute copyright-protected works, the Copyright Office can help you stay compliant with Canadian Copyright law. 
The Copyright Office will: 

• Review copyright of works you distribute to your students in class and on Moodle
• Create permanent links to eResources UNBC has purchased/subscribed to
• Pursue any required licences for use of copyright protected works 

Additionally, the Copyright Office can: 

• Create PDF copies and scans for posting to Moodle
• Pursue licensing for digitization/streaming of video content

To use this service, please send your syllabus to Library Copyright.

Syllabi are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis, so please submit early. While most licenses can be secured quickly, some publishers need six weeks or more to respond to requests. Licenses granted for a fee in previous semesters will need to be renewed for further use, as publishers grant licenses on a semester by semester basis. 

All UNBC instructors are encouraged to use this service to ensure compliance before sharing materials in class or on Moodle. 

Persistent or permanent links (such as PURLs or DOIs) provide permanent access to a resource. To access library subscription databases from off-campus, a proxy for UNBC on the URL is required to authenticate. Some databases provide this automatically, but for others, the proxy needs to be added manually. Open Access resources do not need the proxy. 

To make a persistent link, add this link to the front of your permanent link: https://prxy.lib.unbc.ca/login?url=
