“…Maintaining information on laptops that can be lost or stolen, or the outsourcing of personnel data collection and storage has caused some (Borrull & Oppenheim, 2004) to assert an abrogation of organizational due care responsibilities (Jørgensen, 2006). Hence, organizational members are likely to observe or be exposed to a variety of cases where due care is taken and also instances of carelessness by other employees and management with sensitive information, including their own private security data (Marx, 2006).…”

“…Another point of comparison lies in the United States v. Aaron Swartz case (Atkinson & Fitzgerald, 2014;Sims, 2011) which was concerned about the legality of 4.8 million papers downloaded from JSTOR -"about [their] entire database." 10 Legal issues certainly apply to text-sharing platforms like LibGen for operating paper caching (Borrull & Oppenheim, 2004;Oppenheim, 2008). Unfortunately, there is no systematic way to separate the documents that are in the public domain or published in open-access from those that are not.…”

Research papers disseminate the knowledge produced by the scientific community. Access to this literature is crucial for researchers and the general public. Apparently 'bibliogifts' are available online for free from text-sharing platforms. However, little is known about such platforms. What is the size of the underlying digital libraries? What are the topics covered? Where do these documents originally come from? This paper reports a study of the Library Genesis platform (LibGen). The 25 million documents (42 terabytes) it hosts and distributes for free are mostly research papers, textbooks, and books in English. The paper collection stems from isolated but massive paper uploads (71%) in line with a 'biblioleaks' scenario, as well as from daily crowdsourcing (29%) by worldwide users of platforms such as Reddit Scholar and Sci-Hub. By relating the DOIs registered at CrossRef and those cached at LibGen, this study reveals that 36% of all DOI papers are available for free at LibGen. This figure is even higher (68%) for three major publishers: Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley. More research is needed to understand to what extent researchers and the general public have recourse to such text-sharing platforms, and why.

“…Typically, employees are aware of these organizational surveillance practices (Borrull and Oppenheim, 2004). In some cases, people feel that monitoring "comes with the job," and in other instances, people have refused jobs in which extensive surveillance is used, or they have quit when such policies and practices have been implemented (Tangirala and Ramanujam, 2008).…”

Purpose -Surveillance is seen as an important tool to prevent security breaches and may improve prosecutorial ability, but employees may engage in subtitle counterproductive behaviors in protest. This poses significant risks and costs to employers. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the results of a previous field study of the influences from justice perceptions as mitigation and prescribe some methods for addressing the issues that are raised. Design/methodology/approach -Drawing from protection motivation theory, the psychological contract, and the systems of organizational justice, a threat control model about surveillance attitudes is field-tested in a randomized design. Findings -Trust and perceptions of justice mediated attitudes about surveillance practices; and threat severity and efficacy of surveillance in maintaining security moderated attitudes about corporate surveillance are founded. Originality/value -The paper illustrates the theoretical linkages between surveillance practices and employee counterproductive behaviors. Grounded in these findings, an explanation for how security managers might balance the simultaneous demands for security while maintaining an effective workforce is presented.
