Dear Tejas,
Every book in print has a copyright page in the beginning, which states
that this cannot be done. The Copyright generally reads as " Neither
this book or any part may be produced or transmitted in any form or by
any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying,
microfilming, and recording, or by any information storage and retrieval
system, without permission in writing from the publisher"
To make things easy, most publishers have now come out with the
electronic form of all their print titles. These e-Books can be made
available on IP basis, across the campuses, even in dormitories and
hostels. Since most eBooks are unlimited access, the students can be
benefitted widely. So the need for you scanning the titles can be
minimized. You could just take a list of most widely read titles from
your library and send it to the respective publishers to confirm if,
they have e-copies for the same. The budgets that you may have set aside
to scan them, may just cover the e-books.
