Dear LIS Professionals,          

Since long time I have been thinking, will Sci-Hub be a threat for us??

Thank you.

Friend,

It's a research-related topic or problem. If we don't talk about ethics and authenticity, then, Sci-Hub is a threat to publishers and repositories, not publications. Library deals only with publications. We should be worried when there are not publications.

No comment on Sci-Hub.


Thank you.

Thank you

Copyright is not a divine right: Delhi HC

The court pointed out that if the facility of photocopying wasn’t available, students “instead of sitting  in the comforts of their respective homes.... would be spending long hours in the library and making notes thereof”
