Dear Mangesh, With reference to your query and below mail, i would like to add my part that we are using a corporate credit card which is provided by the company. You can use this card for purchasing Books/Reference Articles, etc. and for subscribing/renewing Periodicals. Company will bear all service charges/annual membership fee or renewal fee. You should check with your company whether they have corporate credit card or not. There are eligibility criteria for getting a corporate credit card which you have refer with your company account people. In an emergency, you can also use your credit card/debit card for the same. But, its better you clarify your account departments that will they bear the service charges and other fees. Thanks and regards, Sankaralngam R Librarian Avestha Gengraine Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Dear Mangesh, In my organisation, we have arranged for credit cards which may be used for official purchases. Few prefer to use them, few make purchases and get the amount reimbursed. All the purchases require to be sanctioned in advance. Ideally, the amount should be cleared before the next billing. Few institutes have a policy where they provide cell phones/credit cards to its staff or reimburse a part of the bill. Irrespective of the facilities available, in the corporate sector, time is of essence. The work needs to be done, the method and means are immaterial. Regards, Lata G.

RE: [LIS-Forum] Info. request - Credit Card use for book purchase &subscription
by Vyasamoorthy＠icicikp.com 14 Feb '05

Dear Mangesh Ghodke Yes, We do use personal credit card for official purchases of books & journal articles, software, databases, Annual fees for online access to databases etc -- all done online. One personal Credit Card issued by ICICI Bank is used. This is used only for office use -- no personal purchases are made. All expenses of the library purchases using this card are paid by the company. The monthly invoice is settled by the accounts dept by issuing a cheque in favour of Credit Card Account number itself and directly deposited in the ICICI bank's ATM or branches. In our internal payment records we note that payment was made via credit card. The userid & password for online transactions is known only to the actual credit card owner. Renewal fees are also bourne by company. Payments in foreign currency is no problem. Many times it is cheaper!! Moreover, When a document is available in several currency prices, you can choose the currency that is cheaper for you on the day of ORDER!! Some advise while using credit cards for online purchases: 1. Please be cautious about slow connections. Slow connections cause time out problems. After filling the order form, click just once. Wait for confirmation. Slow connections sometimes do not show that order has been recieved by the vendor properly , accepted and processed. Thinking that the transaction did not go through you may (press) order again -- duplicating the order. Getting back money for duplicating order inadvertantly is tedious process though ultimately you will get back money. 2 Placing orders sitting behind an Institute's proxy server causes problems. We always use clean direct dial-up connection. 3. Never save passwords on the PC used for online orders. 4. Never allow such a PC to be used by others when you are on leave or away; someone might install a background application that records all that goes on in your screen and thereby steal your credit card passwords. 5. Be careful about "partly manual - partly automatic" online systems. Here you just mention your credit card number - including addtional last three digits - on the web order form. Vendor collects money from Credit card company through manual process. In such cases there is a possibility (it happened to me)of vendor renewing subscritions automatically without proper authorisation from you. Sometimes, the credit card companies take the previlege of automatically renewing subscriptions (like for instance insurance premiums, journal subscriptions etc) -- if you keep quite (silence is taken as consent) re-ordering is done. If you are careless you will renew without your knowledge. Hope this is useful to you.

Colleagues/ FYI: Patent Lens TM : Free/FullText Life Sciences Patent Database [ http://www.bios.net/daisy/bios/50 ] /Gerry TM Librarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 gerrymck(a)iastate.edu *************************************************************************** The patent informatics and analysis component of the BIOS initiative aims to assist both professionals and non-professionals to understand and navigate the intellectual property landscape within the life sciences. These tools are an important and necessary component of the BIOS initiative, as they can assist the user to determine the IP boundaries of what is free and what is not free. Perhaps more appropriately this can be framed as: what are the constraints on deliverable innovations, and what are the useable building blocks for future innovations? The resource was initially developed by CAMBIA, as the CAMBIA IP Resource (formerly www.cambiaIP.org) The Intellectual Property (IP) resource currently consists of a fully text-searchable patents database which has recently been greatly expanded to contain 1,500,000 life science patents from the US, Australian and European-based databases, and will soon include others. We also present some key technology patent landscape analyses (white papers), guides to IP policies & practices and intellectual property tutorials. The CAMBIA-BIOS patent search resource now includes INPADOC patent family information provided by the national patent offices of over 70 countries, as well as status information provided by many of these countries. Once you have searched the patent and patent application database and identified patents of interest, a link on the search results page *************************************************************************** BIOS - Biological Innovation for Open Society - is a new initiative of CAMBIA to extend the metaphor and concepts of Open Source to biotechnology and other forms of innovation in biology.
