Be Careful of such kind of Databases
by Pawan Agrawal 01 May '09

01 May '09

*Dear Professional regards,* Now as the trend going on. We all are looking for e-journal and e-databases for our library to improve our services to the user. But in this trend, there are many professional or i will call them as ill-minded people who are taking benefit of OPEN ACCESS journals to earn money. These people are selling their databases purely contained open access journals only. They collects open access jounals and other literature from the net and selling it to the libraries for higher cost. And We are paying for the content what is already free. So I Request you not to be trapped by such databases and enquire before subscribing such databases and their catagory whether these are subscription based journals or open access journals. So we can use that amount to provide better services to our users in stead vesting money for such kind of databases. -- Thanks and Regards Pawan R.
