Abstract
Library system and publisher authentication requirements often act as barriers to research workflow. Researchers are increasingly going around these barriers by seeking content socially, from networked sites such as Twitter and ResearchGate to pirate sites like Sci-Hub. The ramifications of this move toward socially sourced content are considered, along with the emergence of new technologies that aim to streamline and simplify the research process, for users both within and outside the library.
