As researchers, do you use any abstracting (and/or indexing) databases (known also as A & I databases)? If so, when in your research, e.g. initial literature review? Also, was this type of database covered in your research sources training?

I would use them interchangeably with full text databases - their value is as a discovery tool.

As an author, I do use A&I services to accomplish following tasks:
To make sure a target journal is included in a considered abstracting or indexing database.
To collect data for scientometric research.
To identify relevant publications in certain topics.
To view author profiles to identify relevant literature.
However, not all A&I databases are capable in providing above services.
