Digital Library and Copyright Issues

Dear all,

I am planning to design a small digital Library for my institution. My question is related to copyright issues. If I find and download online books related to various subjects being taught in my college and put them in my server for inclusion in my digital library, what are the copyright issues involved in it? 

Pls give your views.

In many cases you cannot host a book over your own server, but you can provide a link to the original document.

Thanks Badan sir,

Like sir, project Gutenburg, it says in its licence agreement that one can redistribute these books. Then what is the problem in doing this. And if the books are available for download for free. I want to host these books using Dspace software over the LAN of my college. Pls give your valuable suggestions.

Thanks
