[LM_NET] Copyright question

[Mari Howells <marih31@YAHOO.COM>]

I'm the librarian at a school for multiple-handicapped children. I have a very 
large collection of picture books with audio. One of our therapists wants to scan 
the picture book and put it in a PowerPoint so all a student would have to do is 
press a button to "turn the page" while the audio is playing. These kids are unable 
to turn the page of a regular book, but would be able to press a button, so she 
would be making the book accessible to the student. Also, this would be a part of 
their therapy.

Is this a violation of copyright?

Also, for books that don't have audio, she wants to record someone reading it, 
she'd scan the book, and the student would again press a button to go to the next 
page in a Powerpoint. 

Thanks in advance. I'll post a hit.
