having taken a (cautious) look at sci-hub for the first time recently-
since I try to make a rule of not visiting Russian file-sharing sites if
given a choice- I was struck by the fact that retrieved articles are
stamped with the usual retrieval information specifying the institutional
source for the pdf etc.

Which raises the question in my mind: is it possible to find out if one's
own library is being used to contribute to this mass-piracy criminal
enterprise, and if so, what should one do about it? Presuming that it's
impossible to get 'delisted' from sci-hub, what kind of protections can be
put in place to minimize risk?
