Dear All,
Although there may be something else going on here, the original request is essentially problematic. Sending an 'external party' copies of journal articles downloaded electronically via the licence issued to a university library, will breach that licence. Wholesale copying of issues of electronic journals will breach copyright. I'm sure the list goes on.
Part of what Marion requests gets closest, and has been the 'accepted practice'. That is, Kudzai and others could identify the papers they are interested in, and contact the relevant authors to request a copy. But we could not 'probably all send...other articles that we download'. Speak to you friendly university librarian.
Maybe there needs to be some authoritative guidance on this from the List Moderator?

This was indeed very helpful particularly to those who are privileged to have unlimited and reliable internet connectivity. I am wondering if there could be a way, legally of course, in which those colleagues who managed to access and downloaded the journal articles on disability could send me as attachments, as many of them as they possibly can so that many of my blind colleagues and i, here in zimbabwe, can also read. I was unable to access the materials as internet connection was consistently eratic in the area i live here in zimbabwe. Given the other limitation of blind people from accessing literature due to issues to do with restrictive copyright laws,
>> these electronic versions of journal articles are my main source of academic engagement. Please help me with any of these materials as possible if it is legal for you to do so.
