Though an enormous amount of information relating to earth sciences are available on the Internet, for a serious researcher, teacher, librarian or a student who has deadlines to meet, searching the Internet for specific scientific information can at times be frustrating. The main purpose of "Online Databases and Other Internet Resources for Earth Science "is to group these resources together and to provide the URLs and hyperlinks for easy access and minimal searching time. The author explains the current status of the draft treaty by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the European Union (EU) directive on copyright restrictions for scientific databases and what a researcher is permitted to do with the data obtained from the Internet, especially those from a commercial data provider.
