[LIS-Forum] Out of print title?

Dear professional friends,   I just have one question that I wanted to ask you. If a book is really out of print and no longer published, is an institution legally allowed to borrow the book from somewhere and make a copy?  Is it violation of copyright to photocopy them in case they are out of print?   Thanks and regards Umesh -------------------------------------- Dr. Umeshareddy Kacherki Deputy Librarian Indian Institute of Science Education & Research (IISER) Sai Trinity, Pashan, Pune - 411021, India.
