Hi,
I notice that Proquest are claiming copyright of Dublin City University
theses hosted on our IR and indexed on ProQuest Dissertations & Theses: UK
& Ireland. The theses are open access and as far as I know, the authors own
the copyright. They are also doing this with works from other IRs.
See this example:
http://search.proquest.com/pqdtuk/docview/899752254/BF44F57F49154D0APQ/3?accountid=15753
What do you think Proquest are claiming copyright of: the thesis or the
metadata? Even if it's just the latter, do they have any real rights here?
Kind regards,
Jack Hyland
