Depends on where you live. In Sweden you can make a few copies of almost anything without violating copyright. There are a few exceptions. Copying entire books was added as an exception in 2005. You can still copy parts of a book. How large parts? I don't know, but I once asked for a copy from a library and they said that a few chapters was fine, so maybe that much (I am not a lawyer).
