Some may have, others won't have. Building collections of secondary
data is what the OAI-PMH protocol is all about. If the "full-text"
is free, it is more valuable the better it is disseminated. So
you can see that content publishers will be happy to make
some extra efforts to make their data collections harvestable
and aggregatable. Comparining RePEc

records, free and EconLit
http://www.econlit.org, 600k records, $$$,
I don't see how EconLit will survive in the longer run.
