We don't do any table of contents routing at Tulane Medical School.  I
hesitate to ask this, but since I've recently taken an excellent class
on "Copyright Law in the Age of Technology" taught by Laura Gasaway, I'm
concerned about the copyright implications of making multiple copies of
tables of contents and distributing them.  It doesn't seem logical to me
that that would violate copyright law since there's little creative
substance in a table of contents, but laws are not always logical.  The
thing that concerns me is the systematic multiple copying.  It's still
a small portion of the whole, and I would think publishers would be glad
to have as many people aware of what is in their journals as possible.
However, I have this funny feeling that there may be a problem with this
Could someone who is more knowledgeable than I shed some light on this
subject?  Thanks
