Copyright Policy & Education Officer at cohort institution regarding rights agreements 10/30/2014:

Generally, it will depend on the particular language of whatever was signed with the copyright holders when permissions were cleared for the print version. I’ve seen agreements that were very specific about a print run of a certain number of copies, and I’ve also seen agreements that would be broad enough to cover a digital version. As to whether fair use might be an option, that depends on a number of things. The first that comes to mind is the signed agreements again - the right to rely on fair use can be signed away, depending on the wording of the agreement. The second thing to think about is how risk averse your institution is.
