I wish I could say that we are in the rooms and we are seeing people copying. We get anecdotal clues about what people are doing, and Wayne Antony, who is a publisher at Fernwood whose work is mostly post-secondary, sent me a note of his experience, which I'm going to share, if that's okay. It might shed some light on what is happening.
As you know, I think it's Universities Canada that put out a guide for copyright, and the ministers of education—I don't know the full acronym—also put out a book called Copyright Matters!, so I think a lot of educators are going with that, which basically says go for the 10% and don't worry about it.
This is from Wayne. He said:
A few days ago, we received a request for a desk copy of a book that will be released this spring. This is from a prof at Carleton U. She also sent her course outline with the request. The course outline (for a senior undergraduate course) shows no textbook but rather a list of book chapters and journal articles that will be posted for the course on the Carleton LMS. It included several chapters from Fernwood books, including 2 from a book yet to be published and 2 from a book recently published, and single chapters from other Fernwood books. We have had no request from Carleton for permission to reprint these chapters.
