Probably. First you'll need to consider whether copying or scanning the article meets the Fair Dealing Factors.
Fair dealing factors include:
Purpose - what is it being used for?
Character - how many copies are being made? How is it being distributed?
Amount - how much of the actual work are you copying?
Alternatives - are there usable alternatives so copying is unnecessary?
Nature - is the work published or unpublished?
Effect on the original - what effect does the copying have on the original work?
This chart on our Copyright Guide can help you determine whether or not your use of a work can be considered fair.
We should also note that the article must not be from a personal subscription service, as posting paid or subscribed content is likely to violate the subscription agreement. Most agreements of this sort are meant for personal use only.
