Dear Professional and Academic Colleague Do not published and business with Lambert Academic Publishing. I and my friend published many books with LAP for last years, but never received any royalty fee even one single penny. The number of online sales that LAP reports to me with 0 copies (0 credit) is far different from the internet sales. Right now I really know that LAP Lambert is a spam and a fraudulent publishers. I and my friends regret to have published our books with LAP Lambert. Please other people as many as possible to stop publishing a book with LAP Lambert. Don’t let this worst publishers benefiting of the authors. Many masters and doctoral students get sucked into the Lambert scam. They desperately need publications early on in their career. A book sounds like a nice choice, + one free full-color copy, in hard-copy. Plus the advertising on Amazon with a small cut of the profits (apparently never paid out). Which junior budding scientists would refuse this offer? Publication of master and PhD theses in academic journals and then recycled in “academic” books published by LAP constitutes the biggest fraudulent scam in publishing history, and ironically with the biggest growth and profits. Not to mention it constitutes self-plagiarism in its worst form. The questions we should be asking is, how can this be legal in Germany? Or is the predatory publishing model indicative of something wider taking place in the dark world of academic publishing? I am making this comment to warn everyone away from anything that comes out of this dreadful shambles of a publishing house. Avoid it like the plague. I have been burned. Save yourself.

Data Entry in MARC Format as per AACR-2 Rule
by Dp Tripathi 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Data Entry in MARC Format as per AACR-2 Rule Dear All, For any library professional who deals with document cataloguing, it is always challenge to do proper cataloguing in order to enable appropriate and proper searching based on available data entered or maintained. Sometimes, professional finds difficult when he/she comes across different kind of books such as single author, two authors, three authors, more than three authors, editor, corporate author, meeting name and so on. As a result, if professional is not through with rules, may commit mistake in cataloguing as well as in data entry. Keeping that in view, I prepared on document for proper data entry in MARC format based on AACR-2 Rule. This documents covers almost all possible cases we generally come across in our library. It also describes the minimum MARC fields required for any document to do the data entry. This PDF document can be downloaded at http://www.dptripathi.in/download/marc.pdf <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dptripathi.in%2Fdownload%2Fm…> I have also developed an Android Application which can be installed on any Android Supported Smartphone. This app can be downloaded at www.dptripathi.in/download/marc21.apk It includes the full details about MARC (Source: www.loc.gov <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.loc.gov%2F&h=RAQEyO65WAQHz32…>) Hope this will be useful for the professionals and profession. Your suggestion and feedback for further improvement is most welcome. Thanks DP Tripathi NIT Rourkela -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Library and Information Science Dissertations and Theses
by Salman Haider 16 Jul '16

16 Jul '16

*Library and Information Science Dissertations and Theses <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/07/dissertations-theses.html>* https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/07/dissertations-theses.html Reference sources for doctoral and master's dissertations and theses in Library and Information Science (LIS). General reference databases are listed first which is followed by the repositories and digital libraries of individual countries and universities. It also provides information on the online availability of electronic theses through centrally-maintained digital repositories which not only ensure easy access and archiving of doctoral theses but will also help in raising the standard and quality of research. Theses and dissertations are known to be the rich and unique source of information, often the only source of research work that does not find its way into various publication channels. Theses and dissertations remain an untapped and under-utilized asset, leading to unnecessary duplication and repetition. This entry *Library and Information Science Dissertations and Theses* in the Librarian's Reference Directory <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/p/librarians-reference-directory.…> is expected to be the most comprehensive listing of sources of information on LIS dissertations and theses. It will enable LIS researchers with wider dissemination of information leading to improved referral and citation. It will not only bring more visibility and greater recognition to the researchers and their work but also help improve their rankings. It will be of immense help to the researchers in the task of literature search and review of related areas. Besides the literature reviews, the availability of comprehensive sources of LIS dissertations and thesis will give information on research studies already undertaken which will also help future researchers in identifying and formulating the topic of their research. It will eliminate the possibilities for researchers ending up pursuing a topic of research that has already been undertaken at the same or other universities. ... ... ... *Read now complete article: * https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/07/dissertations-theses.html *Salman Haider* <https://salmanhaider.blogspot.com> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
