At its most basic, copyright means the right to copy. Owners of copyright are the only ones allowed to copy their works or give permission to others to copy their works.
But while the definition may seem simple, copyright issues are often complex, and the landscape is undergoing major change. At UBC Library, we’re committed to keeping you up to date with the latest developments, thanks to our copyright site. If you have questions, or would like to know more about copyright, make sure to visit the site – it includes information on the Copyright Act, the Access Copyright issue, copying and scanning at UBC, a licensing database, the Google Book settlement and more.
