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.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Joan</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 6/29/2010 2:29:18 P.M.
