Dear Friends,

or any law related to digitization of a special library .
Please guide and provide link if the same is quoted anywhere so that I can get approval for digitization of my library..

GM Madam,
As per my information there is no separate law in India for digitization of material, but you have to follow the Indian copy right act.
see the link

Another article which my useful for u.
-Kishor Sakariya
I understand all the copyright are made taking into consideration of the public libraries because in the latest amendment I saw it was specifically mentioned about the digitization of Public library. copyright act applicable to public libraries.
Thanks Mr. Kishor. I read all the points. I understand our library is not covered for digitization as we have 14000 books on different subjects. it is very difficult to ask permission for each author for having copyright to get the same digitized.
Any other way if you know, how can I get my library books digitized without any legal complication, please tell.
Thanks for all information you provided.

Shiromani
Madam,
You can not digitize any book cover to cover without taking prior permission of copyright holder, but you can digitize some of the pages as per your requirement, which is consider as a "fair use"
Thanks,

Dear Ms. Bajaj,
I have gone through your post.
May I suggest you to please consult the article by Dr.. K. Rama Patnaik in Economic & Political Weekly (EPW) Vol. 49 #51 (20-12-2014) pp. 54-61.
You specially see the Notes & Reference parts where you will get important insight to Copyright issues (#2 in Notes) and some excellent articles by E.F. Duranceau and Zhang & Eschenfelder. In case you do not have access to EPW, I can send you the pdf of the article.
