From: Richard James <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2016 13:53:34 -0500 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?
