Exclusions List and Copibec repertoire


The Copibec repertoire contains millions of Canadian and foreign titles. You can take advantage of that material as long as you stay within the limits of your school’s reproduction rights agreement.

Content excluded from the repertoire

Millions of titles published in 33 countries are listed in the Copibec repertoire. However, some content and categories of content are excluded from the repertoire. Those publications appear on the Exclusions List that Copibec sends to school boards and private schools each year.

If a title, publisher or content category that you’d like to use appears on the Exclusions List, you’ll need to get permission from the publisher before using that content.

What if it DOESN’T appear on the Exclusions List? Great! You can use it according to the terms of your school’s reproduction rights agreement.

Content categories excluded from the repertoire

The Copibec repertoire includes books, newspapers and periodicals. However, some categories of content are excluded from the repertoire. The excluded categories are indicated on the first page of the Exclusions List.

Global repertoire

Your school’s reproduction rights agreement gives you permission to use millions of documents published in Quebec, the rest of Canada and in 33 countries around the world. All the countries that Copibec has an agreement with are shown at the beginning of the Exclusions List.
