Sending a copy of your own article would be covered under the author's
agreement with the publisher, not the library's licence. Many such
agreements (though not all) do allow authors to email PDFs in exactly the
same way as they might have posted offprints in the past, and would supply a
PDF for this purpose (you shouldn't, of course, simply copy it off the
publisher's site). Your library's licence would be irrelevant in this case
