by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 09 Oct '16

09 Oct '16

Very interesting casehttp://science.sciencemag.org/content/354/6308/23.full There are many predatory publishers out there, and beware of them. Hope Librarians can make the research community aware about the pitfalls of OA publishing and stop misusing this great idea. Often young researchers and graduate students fall in to the traps, sometimes faculty too. ---------- Dr. J. K. VIJAYAKUMAR,

Dear Mr. Vinod Kumar Mishra, Congratulations to you as Author of Book on ......Koha LMS... and all Editors of Volume on ERM... Koha has become a very popular LMS in India too. Many libraries in the country are in the process of adopting Koha or migrating from other LMSs to Koha. You have good experience of implementing Koha in many libraries. Your contribution will go a long way for those planning to automate their libraries using Koha. The data migrarion is the biggest challenge for those planning to switch over to Koha from other systems. You have dedicated a chapter on this issue. I am sure your book on Koha will find a place on Book shelf of all librarians and their libraries.
