You used the example of a student approaching us, a student at an institution, looking to move from, say, a bachelor's to a graduate-level program, and if they're a student at a university, presumably through their own institution they would have access. Personally, my bias has always been to provide the citation and say, look up some of my work. You can find it through your library most likely. Exchanging PDFs, for example, I'm sure people do it. I don't think it's good practice. I don't think it comes up, because, as I say, most people who approach us are already students somewhere.
