Bypassing Interlibrary Loan Via Twitter: An Exploration of #icanhazpdf Requests

摘要

Through the twitter hashtag #icanhazpdf users bypass libraries and request articles directly from users, often violating copyright agreements. This paper will present an analysis of these requests including country of origin, publishers, and disciplines frequently requested. What do these tweets tell us about the current academic publishing model? And what do they tell us about the usability of document delivery services? The authors will explore implications for library services and open-access publishing models.
