Varying discount rate: is it corruption?
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Dear All, May i know the reasons for varying discount rates for the supply of Books and other reading materials in the Library. I observed that same suppliers provide different discount rates in different Libraries, the discount rates varies from 10% to 25%. I hope i will get some genuine reasons behind this else i may assume that: 1. It is mismanagement or lack of negotiation power? 2. Kind of corruption in personal interest? Thanking You.

Beware of fake journals publishers
by srinivas rao 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

This is time for academic libraries to subscribe journals for next calendar year. Most of the libraries already received letters and mails from various publishers to subscribe their journals. But my suggestion to my fellow librarians is that don’t subscribe blindly on seeing titles of journals like “International Journal of ” ”Research Journal of” ,some fake publishers cheating with this kind of titles. Before subscribing a journals please check following factors. 1. Impact factor /ranking of journal 2. Whether Articles are Peer viewed or not 3. Institutional publisher or commercial publisher 4. Check the editor board their background 5. If possible ask for sample copy check the content quality of publishingTake suggestions from subject expects from departments in your institution SRINIVASA RAO GANTA Asst.Professor in LIS VBIT,Hyderabad http://vbitlibrary.blogspot.com http://vbitlibrary.pbworks.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
