Dear Manju,
You can procedure for scanning of the books which are very old and out of the copyrighted year clause. If you want to scan a new book, may be the latest edition or similar to that then you have to take permission from the publishers. Publisher don't allow to digitize any of their books. You might be knowing that e-books are available for each title published in print form, once you will approch to a publisher for the permission of digitisation they will guide you to buy their e-books. Any book/document published by your institution can be considered for digitization.
If, still you have a doubt you can put in the comment box..
Thank you.
