Abstract
“Don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it.” Students and faculty are increasingly turning to the academic article sharing website Sci-Hub for their research needs. Sci-Hub built its database of articles using legal and illegal means. Ethical dilemmas arise when a choice must be made between multiple options that each compromise our ethics. Avoidance of the Sci-Hub issue appears to be the current status quo of most librarians. In this presentation I will challenge the status quo by comparing various professional codes of ethics against the question of whether to teach Sci-Hub.
