I am fully agreed with Vasantha Raju N. There are number of articles
available freely. But library professionals are too lazy to search/ find
those. It is also possible that they are not knowing the process to find
out free available articles. They could even find in Google Scholar, and
other available sites providing free articles services. Yes, you are right
they want the ready made one. We should not encourage them by appending
them the articles. But we could tell them or give them the web address
where the article/s may be seen and may get downloaded.

Dear Sir/Madam, Approaching for request for article in forum is not at all a healthy practice. We must not encourage professionals to post request for articles in LIS Forum except in a very rare cases. Once they get the required article through somebody they continue that practice without subscribing a particular journal or becoming a member of DELNET or other similar networks. Sometime they make it a habit of sending requests for sending 10 to 15 articles even more than that. Even though some of the articles available freely on the web through central repositories/institutional repositories they won't search and find. They rely somebody for articles. We can add many things but we must ask them to find articles on their own by sending a article request for the original authors of papers or purchasing through online database vendors or becoming partners with ILL service providers. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
