Subject: procite databases on web
Since the list is happy to post to me, but won't accept me sending to it (a
legacy of changes in our local email system) here is a copy of note I tried
to send to the list re your response to Laura Baird's query (I've also sent
it to Laura).

I don't actually make a Pro-Cite database available, but I am responsible
for some online databases. For the one in which we include author
abstracts, there is attribution of the source of the abstract, AND we have
written permission from the publisher of every journal we index to make
those abstracts available. The complete citation, with our subject headings
etc added, is copyright because of our intellectual effort in creating it,
but there is no question that the abstract remains the copyright property of
the original copyright holder. I doubt that any major online database makes
author abstracts available without first clearing it with the journal
publishers, because it would be a blatant abuse of copyright.
