TechnoBiblio: Dueling Databases
The American Chemical Society (ACS) has recently called for NIH to restrict the information available in its freely accessible database. ACS’s complaint? It claims that PubChem is in direct competition with its own fee-based Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS).

Wasn’t there a recent to-do about the free information from the National Weather Service? It makes me wonder how long until someone gets the bright idea to try to shut down PubMed.

If they’re worried about competition from an organisation that has no extra cash for design or other “extras” then they must be pretty lazy about adding value to their own product.

Sounds like a problem of not enough competition.
