Scanning and copyright question



Dear Colleagues:

We recently had a request from a patron to scan images for her from several
of our books to use in a class project.  we have never done this before (we
actually just received a scanner). One of my co-workers told her we would be
happy to do this for her - so I am in a spot here - since this is a class
project I know that "fair use" can come into play - however I am a bit
uncomfortable about us doing the scanning with regard to copyright
implications.  Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Regards,
