For the purposes of copyright, uploading material online counts as publishing since you are making the work available to the public. As such, posting substantial amounts of a work online (e.g. a pdf of an entire article, a photograph, a video clip) requires permission from the copyright owner for this particular purpose. However, posting a link to the item, or a link to the library database through which the article can be accessed by licensed users, does not consitute publishing and is always an acceptable way to share information.
