Note: The rule is not to force players to buy PAizo products, although that is one of the results, the rule is there so that the GM can, if necessary, verify the rules for that ability, whether it is a feat, trait, class, archetype, item, or magic ability.
If the GM is new, then, just like you, he may not be familiar with an item, and, during play, exactly how something works may come into question. Having the rules there for the ability/feat/trait/what-have-you is what this rule is about.
Now, if someone else at the table has it available, and can look it up for the GM, thyat would work, for me. However, as a GM, I would also want to caution you that if the rule is not available for lookup at a table you are playing that PC at, that ability would probably not work at that table.
"How does it work?" with an answer of "I am not sure." is not a good conversation. And the priginal rules-source is needed because, no matter how diligent they are, d20pfsrd, Archives of Nethys, and HeroLab are still handled by human beings, and humans are fallible. Errors sneak in, and sometimes get quite difficult about getting removed.

What an interesting thing to awake to! In one singular act you have defeated every single qualm and fear I've had of this game and the ability to establish the connectivity of the gamer!
I humbly thank you, and I promise to pay it forward, because that is the way of the spirit of community! There are not words in the English language strong enough to express how surprised and happy I really am with this!

You can make a copy of the sheets in question and then refer to your buddy for ownership. So you need a book AND a copy but your copied material doesn't need to be watermarked.
This is not actually true. Only watermarked copies count as a legal copy of the rules source. You can, however, share books within your household.

Awesome thing to see! Thanks Todd, you're super awesome!
I think we all try to take care of each other when we can. Organizers will buy the scenarios and gift them to the GMs. Players at the table will pitch in for a raise dead when they're teammate goes down. Personally, I buy extra cure light wound potions and will hand them to new players at the table. I figure they can always give them back at the end of the scenario if they didn't use them.
It's nice to see a good community building in PFS. It's a big warm fuzzy feeling...like cuddling with big warm fuzzy tigers.
Yay tigers!

Chris Mortika one of the most generous PFS players/GMs I know. He has a bunch of character folios he hands out randomly, gives out duplicate boons from his many conventions, gives away Inner Sea World Guides and even put down quite a chunk of change so that Gamicon GMs could have their very own embroidered PFS baseball hat.
I doubt his PFS dice roll less than a 15 with all that karma.

Todd is not kidding about Mortika Karma.
The first time I was at Nuke-Con and we ended up with nothing to do on Sunday Morning Chirs Mortika bought The Harrowing and a Harrow Deck from a vendor, ran the adventure and then gave them away to two random players. (He already owned copies, he had just not brought them to the con.)
This last year at Gamicon when I was GMing Race for the Runecarved Key I was hoping somebody could lend me a City Streets Flip-Mat. Chris volunteered of course. When I tried to give it back he told me to keep it.
