I’ve come across a recent journal article that I’d like to give out to my students.  Can I photocopy it and hand it out?

Probably. Under the Fair Dealing Guidelines you are allowed to make a copy of a single article from a journal to hand out to students. 

However, if the library has a license agreement with the journal that prevents class handouts you may have to pay a royalty or find another way to make it accessible for your students. Check with the Copyright Specialist if you have any questions
