database links within frame

[bob at esrl.lib.md.us]

Hello.

I'm trying to determine what, if any, legal or moral implications there
may be associated with linking to a commercial database like Gale or
ProQuest within a frame on a library web site.

I'd like to convince this organization to find a different way to do this,
but don't want to get bogged down in a "web design" discussion with them.
I'd rather just present some solid points about these links in particular
and let them take it from there.

Do I have any sort of a case?

Thanks.
