The chosen retrieval engine was designed from the onset for retrieval of whole academic documents in XML [1]. A predecessor can be seen on BioMedNet and ChemWeb [4]. This engine, like that used in the IEEE digital library, returns relevance ranked lists of whole documents – the natural (citable) unit of information in an academic environment. From experience, information vendors are not interes...

The access and reproduction policies of the digital collections of fifteen leading academic and national digital libraries worldwide are classified according to factors such as the creation type of the material, acquisition method and copyright ownership. The relationship of these factors and policies is analyzed and quantitative remarks are extracted. We propose a policy model for the digital ...
