Something terrible happened at American Libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Friends: Please see how some editors in cahoot with commercial publishers distort articles written by scholars and go to the extent of injecting text from publishers into the main text of papers written by researchers. They even said that the authors and the publishers are partners in the work! And when the authors ask them to retract, the editors of the concerned journal refuse to do that. < http://stewartvarner.com/2016/01/04/um-about-that-american-libraries-articl… >. This episode can very well form the subject of an editorial in Current Science.

07 Jan '16

Please ignore the previous message and post this message only. --------------- Dear All, After a rigorous effort, I could install DSpace-5.4 on LUbuntu-14.04 LTS version. The main problem I was facing with Tomcat (apt-get install tomcat7). After successful installation of DSpace-5.4 also, the tomcat was not starting and it was getting off after some time. Some PID issued was there. So, I changed the tomcat version and switched over to Version 8.0. I installed it manually and configured. I have prepared a document of Installation of DSpace-5.4 on Lubunu-14.04 LTS version. You can download this at www.dptripathi.in/install/dspace.pdf Hope this will be useful to all who wish to install DSpace and use it in establishing the Digital Library in their Institute.

Re: [LIS-Forum] German translation of a short article

Subbiah Arunachalam writes > Here is a short article in German. I would like to get it translated into > English. Can anyone in in the list help? > > <http://wisspub.net/2016/01/02/zahlungen-der-universitaet-bern/> > It shows data about subscription payments by the university, for Elsevier, Springer and Wiley. It then asks whether they would be sufficient to cover gold open access payments for all those papers that authors deposited in the institutional repository and that were subsequently published in journals of the three publishers. For Elsevier and Springer it would work, but for Wiley its more iffy. It's very important and interesting work. -- Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel skype:thomaskrichel -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
