The biggest problem I run into is in the choir with sheet music. To be legal we cannot use copies for the choir members that do not have a purchased copy of the music. This is because the sheet music is still under copyright and for each person that performs (sings) in the choir the royalty is paid through the purchase of the music.
As far as genealogical works I have many copies of pages from various books which I made over the years. It is helpful to have pages when I add sources to the information I have and to make sure I have the information correct. Some information is just too long to spend hours hand copying at a library and then take it home and try to read.

The large "library" does have scanners, with copyright notices posted next to them. As a genealogist by degree (BA), there is a % of a copyrighted book that can be copied. I am away from my information right now, but if memory serves me right it is about 20% of a book may be copied. It is not a problem to copy a few pages of a book, so do not panic if you have made copies.
