Hi,
I agree with Genny about copyright. It probably also violates full-text contracts, which will only permit library-based copy supply, if at all. I wonder where the supplying people are finding the articles.
If from material we subscribe to, then I would think it is definitely a contract breach.
Regards
Mike

Subject: Twitter hashtag
Hello,
I’m not sure how many of you are on Twitter but i’ve just found the following hashtag and i thought it might be something we as librarians want to discuss. It’s #ICanHazPDF
and basically people seem to be attaching it to tweets asking other people to give them a full text article they’re requesting. People have been using it on twitter for a little while now, and some people have been discussing it at a current conference @iflawlic.
I thought it might be interesting to bring it to a wider audience to see what everyone thinks about it. People on Twitter are saying that it’s better than asking a librarian for a full text article as this method is much faster. It’s an interesting concept
to use Twitter this way, what do you think?
Thanks,
Sarah
