[LIS-Forum] delivery of books act-amendment

[Prof. N. Laxman Rao.]

hello friends
every one of know that the publishers have to send one copy of ech
published document act. to National library and other national level
libraries (delhi, chennai, Mumbai). at present only 30% of published
documents re sent under the act. manly it is due to lack punitive action
and loopholes in the act.

recently the publishers proposed the govt to reduce the no to TWO. the
govt put up the proposal to consultative committee. it is beig examined.

we know that the publishers give 40 to 60% discount on the books.

may i seek opinion of the professionals in regard to the implementation of
the act and suggested proposal by the publishers? 
further u may also suggestt the punishment, what is the fate of the
similar acts in other countries.

it will be highly appreciative if evey can participate and send their
feelings, opinions and suggested actions.
