Hi Wally We have access via our library to more recent articles from the American Psychologist via PsycInfo and PsyArticles. If your institution has this, then your students can each log on and read the articles on their screens, or print them out individually if they so desire, for their own, private use. If the articles are more than a few years old then you could get a copy and make it available for them to read. At our library we have an e-reserve system where the articles are uploaded in PDF for reading only. Or we have the old reserve system where they check the article out for an hour or two to read or photocopy, as they desire.
Those are my suggestions which will keep your conscience clear. Annette Quoting "Wallace E.
