Dear Mr Vimal Kumar, Pleased to know that e-book has been released under Creative Commons License. I think it is first of its kind in the field of LIS. I hope it will encourage conference organizers and book publishers (especially associations) to release their works under CC and make it available for wider use. I congratulate the entire team for this effort. best wishes, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian IGIDR, Mumbai ======================= On Sat, Jan 16, 2016 at 11:08 PM, Vimal Kumar V. wrote:
