RE: Bibliographic Survey of Selected Schools

As you may be aware, the Copyright Board of Canada has certified a tariff for the reproduction, communication to the public by telecommunication or making available to the public by telecommunication, and authorization of works in the repertoire of Access Copyright by educational institutions. Schools which are entitled to the benefit of the tariff, through payment of royalties to Access Copyright, may be asked to participate in a paper and digital bibliographic survey of material copied under the tariff. That survey allows Access Copyright to distribute the royalties collected to the appropriate creators and publishers.

Access Copyright is entitled to survey schools every year. Individual schools can only be surveyed once every three school years. The paper survey lasts ten consecutive school days. The digital survey lasts twenty consecutive school days.

During the course of the school year, you will receive one or more letters from Access Copyright informing you of the dates during which the following schools within your board’s jurisdiction will be surveyed:
[SCHOOL X]
[SCHOOL Y]
[ETC. AS REQUIRED]

Enclosed with the Access Copyright letter will be a memorandum to be sent to the principal of each school listed above, informing them of the conduct of the survey. A copy of this memorandum is also attached to this letter for your convenience. The tariff requires that you send these memoranda within five school days of receiving the Access Copyright letter.

Your cooperation and participation in this process help to reinforce the importance of copyright awareness in our schools.

Please note that at Access Copyright’s discretion, and after being authorized by the school principal, pre-screened and pre-authorized Access Copyright representatives may monitor the survey process.

Sincerely,

DATE:

RE: Bibliographic Survey of Paper and Digital Material Copied [DATES OF SURVEY PERIOD]

The Copyright Board of Canada has certified a tariff for the reproduction, communication to the public by telecommunication or making available to the public by telecommunication, and authorization of works in the repertoire of Access Copyright by educational institutions. All schools which are entitled to the benefit of the tariff, through payment of royalties to Access Copyright, have certain obligations with respect to the survey of material copied under the tariff.

Please note that your school has been selected to participate in a Canada-wide paper and digital bibliographic survey of material copied. This survey allows Access Copyright to distribute the royalties collected to the appropriate creators and publishers.

You will soon be contacted by Access Copyright. This will begin the process for your school’s participation in the survey.

At Access Copyright’s discretion, and after being authorized by the school principal, pre-screened and pre-authorized Access Copyright representatives may monitor the survey to take place at your school.

Your participation in this endeavour is appreciated. Questions can be directed to your Director of Education’s office, to the Ministry of Education, or to your school board, at [INSERT CONTACT INFORMATION FOR EACH OF ABOVE].

APPENDIX E

Access Copyright letter to schools [Access Copyright Tariff, subsection 10(12)]

As you already know, your school has been selected to participate in Access Copyright’s paper and digital bibliographic survey of material copied this year.

The survey will be carried out by Access Copyright in accordance with the tariff certified by the Copyright Board of Canada. A copy of the tariff is enclosed for your information.

The paper survey will start on [DATE] and will last for ten consecutive school days. The digital survey will start on [DATE] and will last for twenty consecutive school days. The purpose of the survey is to ensure that the correct creators and publishers are paid for those works which are copied. The results, along with those collected from other school jurisdictions, establish the fairest possible basis for the distribution to copyright holders of royalties that are collected from the tariff. Creators and publishers depend on royalties from their works, just as others rely on a salary or business income.

Survey materials will be sent to your school during the week preceding the survey period. Bilingual material will be sent upon request.

A representative from your school will be responsible for informing your staff of the purpose of the paper bibliographic survey, for placing the survey materials next to photocopiers and for making sure that survey materials are accessible at all times during the survey period.

At Access Copyright’s discretion and after being authorized by the school’s principal, pre-screened and pre-authorized Access Copyright representatives may monitor the implementation of the survey. Such authorization cannot be unreasonably withheld.

For the paper survey all copyright material copied (covered by the tariff or not), users will be asked to make a copy of the page of each copied published work that contains the most bibliographic information and shall indicate, on a sticker supplied by Access Copyright and to be affixed to the back of the copy, the date the copy was made, the number of original pages copied from the work and the number of sets of copies made. This information will be placed in a box adjacent to the photocopier.

Technology permitting, and at the discretion of the school, alternative delivery methods (e.g. storing a second copy of the transactions on a hard drive, electronic transmission of the same over the Internet) could be implemented.

The information will be sent to Access Copyright at the end of your school’s survey period at Access Copyright’s expense.

A representative from your school will be responsible for informing your staff of the purpose of the digital bibliographic survey, including instructions on how to deliver the digital copies to the representative.

For the digital survey, a digital copy of all digital copies of copyright material (covered by the tariff or not) made available by the school to persons under its authority on a secure network during the survey period will need to be provided to Access Copyright with the corresponding number of authorized persons that had access to each copyright work. If available, you will also need to provide metadata containing any bibliographic information.

A representative from Access Copyright will be contacting you shortly. We will have two additional questions for you when we call. First, how many copiers are there in your school? We need this information if we are to deliver a sufficient number of survey kits to your school. Second, what is the name of the staff member at your school who will oversee the survey and act as Access Copyright’s contact? We thank you for assembling this information now, in anticipation of our call.
