Does providing access to the subscribed E-Books for library purposes violates copyright law?

If we procure eBooks from the publisher and use it for library purpose, then do this violate copy right act?. Please suggest.

No, providing access to e-content does not violate copyright laws if following the legal facets of copyrighted material i.e to expliot the content (any modification) without the permission of the creator on lines of one's own vested interests.

Thanks Muzamil, Can you please help, where should I get full knowledge of copy right act. I read in one act that if we keep the ebooks for download then violates the act?

Refer to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998.

it does not violate the copy right act After subscribing of any E-content. But it becomes violate when any individual or organization take that subscribed e-content print for beneficial purpose. here we we can apply "FAIR USE " concept
