Exploring Plagiarised Text
by Badan Barman 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Respected forum members, Three days back i came across a blog site called Plagiarised (http://onlineclone.blogspot.com/) which is exploring papers with plagiarized text. I know by seeing the blog posts (if there name is there) professionals will be offended and some one like me (!) will fear of being explore in the days to come. But the real thing is that such type is initiative is really needed and we should join hand to achieve this kind of end. After all what is the importance of publishing a seminar or conference volume if maximum of its articles are derivatives of some kind of earlier publication (plagiarized text), and what is the importance of organizing that seminar itself. I personally not in an assumption, but we all know sufficient prove to justify our comments. So what should be done actually to avoid information pollution. Your comments are welcome at http://lislinks.ning.com/forum/topics/plagiarism-and-indian-lis/ Indian LIS Professionals: http://lislinks.ning.com/ Thanking you Yours faithfully (Sri Badan Barman) Academic Consultant, School of Library & Information Science, Krishna Kanta Handique State Open University, Housefed Complex, Last Gate, Dispur, Guwahati-781006, Assam Phone: 0361-2234964 / 2235971, Fax: 0361- 2235398.

List moderation
by CUK Library 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Dear all, Mr. Saji S. Nair has raised a very important question. Though list moderation is necessary to avoid the flow of unwanted messages, rigorous scrutiny and blocking of relevant communication is actually the negation of the right to information. As pointed out by Mr. Saji, the number of mails received through LIS Forum per day is very less now a days. Hence, many of the important events and news become unknown to the library community. With regards, Dr. Dineshan Koovakkai Assistant Librarian Central University of Kerala Kasaragod, Kerala-671123 India -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Shahab Hamdard University New Delhi -----Original Message----- From: lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in [mailto:lis-forum-bounces@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in] On Behalf Of Shalini Sent: 09 फरवरी 2010 08:29 To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in; lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Subject: [LIS-Forum] Open Theses accedes to NDLTD-will not display fulltext-updates on Open Thesis Issue Hello LIS professionals, I reproduce below two mails – one from Prof. Edward Fox, Director of NDLTD and another from Pete Celano of Open Thesis. These discussions give you a glimpse of not only the way NDLTD has been serving the cause of ETDs and also the issues involved and how a professional community can/should stand up to its values and beliefs. Happy reading! Shalini kkkk
