[APG Public List] Citing Sources - Your Opinion

[JYoung6180 at aol.com]

I've always looked at it differently. I've long heard that "you are doing  
work that benefits the company" but to me, the subscription services are  
providing a place/forum and resources for us to carry out our research. When 
we  make an addition, transcription, or correction to the data they house and 
 provide for us, we are doing it for ourselves and for other researchers.  
Any benefits to the subscription service itself is purely secondary. They 
took  the initial step of making the data accessible for us or giving us a 
place to  house our data that otherwise would have cost us directly.

I think  part of the problem with subscription services is that sometimes 
we seem to be  asking them to do our work for  us.
