Re: [LIS-Forum] Request for a full text theses
by Byrappa, Ananda (GE Global Research) 12 Apr '13

All, This is in continuation of the ongoing discussion and what Mrs. Swati Bhattacharyya and Mukesh Jha has written: CONTU guidelines permit a borrowing library to receive up to 5 articles from a periodical title (not a single issue) per calendar year. However, If your institution library has licensed (not purchased) the content/material, the license agreement is a binding and overrides all other restrictions. Also, your library License agreements and subscriptions from publishers may limit content reuse more strictly than copyright law or the CONTU guidelines. What should librarians and consortia managers do to be copyright compliant? - Negotiate and insert appropriate clause to your license agreements before you start sharing your documents with other libraries. You can get more information from the following document published by CCC in March 2013. - Interlibrary Loan: Copyright Guidelines and Best Practices: http://www.copyright.com/content/dam/cc3/marketing/documents/pdfs/ILL-Broch… Ananda T.Byrappa Global Leader, Whitney Knowledge Centre Six Sigma Black-Belt GE India Technology Centre 122, EPIP, Phase 2, Whitefield Road, Bangalore - 560066, INDIA Ananda.byrappa(a)ge.com ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:54:43 +0530 From: mukesh jha <mysjha(a)gmail.com> To: Swati Bhattacharyya <swati(a)iimcal.ac.in> Cc: LIS Forum <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in>, dlrg(a)drtc.isibang.ac.in, debmalya das <malya.hat(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] Request for a full text theses Message-ID: <CABLod4zn9gBJdp+-hMNuoOfsNjnHrpj=G1Fmw+Vjfiq75KjhPg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Dear Madam, You are absolutely right, this is show that how, those professional, who very well known about Copyright.How can they violating the rules of the same On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 11:51 AM, Swati Bhattacharyya <swati(a)iimcal.ac.in>wrote: > This matter has been discussed, time and again, on this list. > > Requesting for one or two articles may be alright.

Dark-side of OA
by D.V. Patwardhan 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Ref: Lis-Forum, Vol.No.121, No.18, 9th April, 2013. This has reference to the news from Ms. Swati Bhattacharya, IIM-C on “Dark side of the OA and the Indians are always in the forefront.” Article she referred was quite interesting and enlightening. OA involves payment of sizable amount of money by Authors to the publishers as “publishing cost”. This has attracted many “fake publishers” who are bringing out technical journals having name resembling of reputed journals and reputed technical events. We learnt that the “fake publishers” constitute their own “review teams” constituting Professors/scientist from reputed Institutes often not taking formal permission from the Professors/scientist concerned. Review process done is also questionable. In such a situation, it is difficult for a scientist/Professor to identify who is a “black/fake” publisher and who is “white/authentic” publisher. It is learnt that Jeffrey Hall, a Research Librarian at University of Colorado has developed his own “blake list” of publishers and the journals published them. There is need to give wide publicity to the name of publishers in such a list. There is also need for taking adequate safeguards for Open Access publishing.
