Many individuals didn't even know where to start. Recent changes to the copyright law have allowed for the formation of copyright collectives in Canada. Collectives represent groups of copyright holders for the purpose of collecting copyright payments on their behalf and authorizing the copying of their works. For published works, two collectives are now in existence in Canada, offering licences to cover copying of published material, usually books or articles, by photocopying, facsimile, or similar methods of copying. For example, professors can make multiple copies of a periodical article, enough for every student in the class.
Librarians can make multiple copies of a work to put on reserve.
Copies can be made for administrative purposes. And multiple copies can be produced by the university bookstore for inclusion in student course packs. There are still limits to the proportion of a work that can be copied. Those proportions are similar to what likely can be copied under fair dealing for single copies. If you keep these sorts of limits in mind for all your copying, whether under the licence or under fair dealing, you won't go wrong.
