Platform to standardize, facilitate
and accelerate the copyright request process
Dexero DDA gives educational institutions in Québec a way to standardize, facilitate and expedite the reporting process for the reproduction of works protected by the Copyright Act. DDA lets colleges and universities produce copyright declarations to use for books, magazines, journals or case law and comply with the standards
set by Copibec.
DDA simplifies and automates the processes and applies the standard’s clauses as you create your declaration.

Customizable
platform
Automatic updates when the rules in Copibec’s standards change. Ability to integrate declarations for works that are excluded by Copibec, but for which you hold special copyright authorizations.
Features
Pay-per-use
licences
When more than 20% of a work’s total page count is used, administrators can ask for pay-per-use licences from Copibec by simply clicking a link. The information is sent to Copibec, which can then issue a licence. The answer is then emailed to the administrator, who can then accept or reject the fees directly in the request.
Manage exclusions
and complex rules
Dda is integrated with Copibec, so it can manage exclusions and complex rules when a declaration is being created.
Secure
authentication
In addition to an internal authentication account, Dda lets you use your institution’s authentication system to authenticate users. Using an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), Dda authenticates the user’s username and password, then grants access to the program.
Search
accelerator
- Dda autofills some information about a work, accelerating the declaration process.
- Dda uses WorldCat, Copibec and ISSN Portal’s databases to find information on a work when you enter its ISBN, so you don’t have to fill out the entire form manually.
