Anuradha,
Copyright law does not allow you to scan the books even for academic and research purpose. You need to take written permission from the publisher/copyright holder to digitize any book. Its unlikely that you get a permission from them. As an alternative, you may want to consider online books like knovel, netlibrary, e-brary, 24/7 etc for subscription. Again they may not fill your requirements as these e-book models are still evolving (slowly!)
There are security methods to control accessing digital documents. For example, British Library(BL), London is recently started using 'secured document delivery' method for their electronic document delivery service. Which allows end users to access the document only one time. You may wish to visit BL website for more details
Regards,
Anand

Already Sathya and Vyasamoorthy have rightly pointed out that the
Gandhinagar library IS NOT THE FIRST to computerise. A simple verification
of facts was all that was needed. But then who cares for facts at a time
when what matters is one has to SOMEHOW be seen as the first, truth be
damned.
But why this fetish about being first. All we want is libraries should serve
the local communities in the best possible manner. They are not running a
race competing with each other. All of them want to serve their clientele
and we should hel them do that. Is there anything more we can ask for?

Dear All,
Many academic, public and special Libraries have automated their
operations over a period of time. Just like BL's they too have used
LIBSYS. It would be interesting to know as to what is best about British
Libraries ?
Regards.
