Hi Jane,
A visit to the CLA web page might be worth it. I was particularly interested in the second of the URLs below.

Subject: Scanners and copyright law
Hi,
Could anyone offer me some advice on the use of scanners in the library for disabled users. I know the recent copyright legislation allows visually impaired students to use a scanner in the library but what about other students such as dyslexic students and students with physical impairments that need to use a scanner with text read & write software. How are other Higher Education Libraries getting around the copyright restrictions? Can it be argued that the DDA part 4 states we need to make reasonable adjustments and therefore all disabled students should have access to a scanner.
Thanks for your help
Jane
