[LIS-Forum] Plagiarism and Indian LIS Professionals.

[Badan Barman]

Respected forum members,

Many LIS professionals in India in their books, papers submitted to
seminar / conference / festschrift volume as well as magazines /
journals including contents posted to their blog, message posted to
online groups / forum are copied from some one else and try to
showcase as their own. I have a very bitter experience and I think
many of you too. Such practices should be avoided but no one taking
serious steps in this regard.

We are living in a digital society, where forget about the journal
articles, even blog post, message posted to groups / forum even
personal email and chat messages are treated as copyrighted.

Its time to make a voice in this regard and explore such bad practices
with evidences. No doubt, in moving to the same we will faced a lot of
personal attack but we should be able to bear all of them to build a
new practice of a culture society in LIS in India. So, in eliminating
the garbage from the world of information explosion, I just want some
cooperation form the Indian LIS Professionals, and I hope you will.
