Copyright Law Violation
by Rajan 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

Dear Ms Hena Gupta, The chapter XI of the Indian Copyright Act clearly indicates that a copyright is infringed when anyone distributes anything either for trade or in a way affecting prejudicially the owner of the copyright. Copyright protection has never been and cannot be applied rigidly to avoid hampering of progress in the society particularly in academic and research frontiers. A balance is always maintained between the interest of the creator and of the community while applying the law by the executive and judiciary. Most of the social purpose activities are exempted from the operation of the act. Research and private study are specifically among them. So there is no much to guard against any act which you are convinced as bonafide and can prove to be a non-commercial academic activity. The word distributes is not much important, but the resultant effect of the action of distribution is more important when somebody looks through the eyes of the law. The law is now being carefully looked upon as the copying is an easier task and digital world permits copying and distributing anything easier than ever before leading to so frequent violations. K Rajasekharan Librarian, Kerala Institute of Local Administration(KILA) Mulagunnathukavu, Thrissur - 680581 , India ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Message: Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2007 08:43:33 +0530 From: HENAG <HENAG(a)infosys.com> Subject: Re: [- Does it Violate Copyrights Laws Hello Ms Vasumathi, I need a clarification of your point number 3 below. You said librarian from a commercial organization can make copy of an article from a subscribed journal or library book for an employee of the same organization. However not allowed by the same or anyone else to get several copies of the said article or pages to distribute. Is there any line that we can draw between the word DISTRIBUTE and SERVE to the user of library? I am bit confused for the word fair use / single use, and I think specially when we librarians in a profit making organizations are concerned the copyright laws are not very transparently/ clearly expressed . It is somewhat vague or not thought of us while written them . If you have better way or explicitly written authorised document please name it , I would like to go through that . Best Regards Hena S Gupta ( Sr. Librarian) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Free email Search Tool From IBM
by Farooque Shaheen 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

IBM unveiled "smart" search software designed to help people find information buried in email. The software is powered by advanced algorithms that can interpret incomplete queries and find information such as phone numbers, people, meetings, presentations, documents, images, and more. Called IBM OmniFind Personal E-mail Search (IOPES), the semantic search tool is available at no charge on IBM alphaWorks. (www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/emailsearch) The email search tool is available as plug-ins for IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook. Common search concepts, such as dates, times, and phone numbers, are built into the software; additional search parameters, such as meeting requests or specific locations, can be defined and used on-the-fly without any programming expertise. Such user-defined concepts can be shared between individuals and can be used to build a more personalized search system. http://newsbreaks.infotoday.com/wndReader.asp?ArticleId=40490 Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Keane International (India) Private Limited +1-925-831-1676 Ext 40366 (VOIP) +91-80-26678388 Ext 4105 (Tel) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Supplying Journal Articles - Does it Violate Copyrights Laws
by Sukhdev Singh 27 Dec '07

27 Dec '07

Dear Dr Shukla and LIS-Forum Members I feel it is an interesting topic, therefore I have changed the subject of the discussion. The question is whether a Librarian violates Copyrights Laws if he supplies an Article to his user for personal use and research? This is perhaps accepted because here he is only working on behalf of the user. Also, so far Inter-Library Loans are concerned, there should not be any problem because no "copies" are made. Original Book / Journal is borrowed and given to user. Copyright Laws restricts only making copies of literary works. However, what happens when a librarian makes a copy and transmits over internet to requesting Librarian? Requesting librarian takes that digital copy, makes a print copy and hands over to its user, hoping that it would be used by its user for personal and research work. To me, it appears, there is a violation by the initiating librarian as he is not acting on behalf of his user. What others feel about this? --Sukhdev Singh, NIC.
