It may be "fair use" under the copyright laws of your country, but it certainly isn't under British copyright law. The 1988 "Copyright, Designs, and Patents Act", which is the legislation covering such things in the UK permits one to copy one chapter of a book, or one article from a magazine. Scanning an entire book - even one which you own - is illegal in this country.
