Copyright Tip: Newspaper Paywalls and Library Solutions

September 30, 2013

Many newspapers in Canada including The Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, and The National Post have migrated to a paywall model which limits online access for users who do not have a subscription. Therefore, if you link to news articles on these websites, students may be prevented from getting the content.

Please note that if you have your own digital subscription, your contract prevents you from sharing newspaper articles without permission.

Did you know that Canadian newspapers are available through Humber Libraries’ databases? Use the library article links to ensure that students can always access the readings.

Find our newspaper databases at: library.humber.ca/news

Copyright staff can help you add the article links to your Blackboard courses.

If you have any questions please contact copyright@humber.ca.
