Out of print title?
by Umeshareddy Kacherki 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Dear professional friends, I just have one question that I wanted to ask you. If a book is really out of print and no longer published, is an institution legally allowed to borrow the book from somewhere and make a copy? Is it violation of copyright to photocopy them in case they are out of print? Thanks and regards Umesh -------------------------------------- Dr. Umeshareddy Kacherki Deputy Librarian Indian Institute of Science Education & Research (IISER) Sai Trinity, Pashan, Pune - 411021, India.

by Shamprasad Pujar 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

FYI -- Original Message -- From: "ARD Prasad" <ard(a)drtc.isibang.ac.in> To: dlrg(a)drtc.isibang.ac.in Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2010 10:11:51 -0500 (EST) Subject: Ubuntu LiveCD with DSpace,PKP Harvester, Koha and dbWiz Dear All, If you are interested in a Ubuntu-9.10 based Livecd, pre-configured with 1) DSpace, 2) PKP Harvester (OAI harvester based search engine for digital repositories) 3) Koha, and 4) dbWiz (a federated search engine for online Journals/databases) You may download from http://sf.net/projects/liblivecd OR http://liblivecd/sf.net NOTE: Though sourceforge.net shows the size of the file as 712 MB, the actual size is 680 MB. After downloading the ISO file, you may cut a CD (700 MB capacity) as ISO file. DONOT copy the ISO file on to the CD!!! For people who never used a liveCD: Once you have the CD, you may boot your system with the CD. LiveCD will not write anything to your Hard Disk. You can work from the CD itself and try testing DSpace, PKP harvester, Koha, and dbWiz. If you wish to have the Ubuntu Operating system along with these Library related software, you may click the "Install Ubuntu-9.10" icon. Take more care while partitioning your hard disk. You may use even multi-boot with the existing operating systems on your system. I would greatly appreciate, for your feed back on DLRG. with best regards -- ARD Prasad, Ph.D. Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institutet 8th Mile Mysore Raod Bangalore 560 059 Phone: +91-80-28483002 Ext. 496 FAX: +91-80-28482711 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
