Catalog records are not protected by copyright. They contain data that can be readily observed and recorded by anyone, and thus fail the minimal creativity standard set in 1998 in Matthew Bender v. West Publishing (http://www.law.cornell.edu/copyright/cases/158_F3d_674.htm). Of course, that doesn't mean you won't get sued . . . Terence Fitzgerald Humanities Index H. W. Wilson
