Hi Ivan, Register for the next Open Content Licensing for Educators <http://wikieducator.org/OCL4Ed>workshop :-).
This is a free professional development opportunity on OER, Copyright and Creative Commons. This will be a great way to find answers to your questions and to meet new friends from around the world! In short you will need to consult your national copyright act to identify whether there are any specific educational exceptions which would cover the practice you suggest. However, in most countries, restricting access to students for scanned copies of all-rights reserved texts would not qualify as fair dealing -- format shifting is not permitted under "standard" copyright. Your institution may participate in a licensing arrangement, which in return for a fee, may permit these activities (But this is not a fair dealing / fair usage practice.)
