Scenario: A Teacher Librarian wants to create an online book club, in a virtual classroom, to promote recreational reading to upper primary students at her school. The virtual classroom is only open to students from the school. The TL has copied images of the covers of three books and uploaded the digital images, to post threads created for student blogging. Is this acceptable copyright practice?
Recommendation: Is is acceptable for digital images of book covers to be used for educational purposes on a closed school network. It is not being used for profit, and is not of an unreasonable amount.
This recommendation is based on the Copyright Act, Flexible Dealing exception - s 200AB
