[LM_NET] TARGET: book excerpts

[Joanna Arkans <jarkans@HVC.RR.COM>]

Hello everyone,
I have a high school Social Studies teacher who is interested in compiling excerpts 
from various fiction and non-fiction books from our library to share with her 
students.  She hopes to give them short bits of narrative for particular topics 
such as the genocide in Rwanda and then perhaps entice students to read more on 
their own.

My question is if we scanned certain pages from books in our collection and she 
posted those excerpts on her website, is that a violation of copyright?  

Thanks,
Joanna Arkans
