Everything Written Down is Copyrighted: We are living in a digital society, where forget about the journal articles, even blog post, message posted to groups / forum even personal email and chat messages are treated as copyrighted.

Plagiarism at its Peak: Many LIS professionals in India in their books, papers submitted to seminar / conference / festschrift volume as well as magazines / journals including contents posted to their blog, message posted to online groups / forum are copied from some one else and try to showcase as their own.

Need Proof?: There is no need I think to confirm or provide justification in favor of my comment as we all are very much aware of this happenings. We all have some kind of bitter experiences!
Updates: Today I came across a blog site called Plagiarised (http://onlineclone.blogspot.com/) which is exploring papers with plagiarized text. I know by seeing the blog posts (if there name is there) professionals will be offended and some one like me (!) will fear of being explore in the days to come. But the real thing is that such type is initiative is really needed and we should join hand to achieve this kind of end.

Why to Avoid Plagiarism: After all what is the importance of publishing a seminar or conference volume if maximum of its articles are derivatives of some kind of earlier publication (plagiarized text), and what is the importance of organizing that seminar itself .

How to Avoid: ts time to make a voice in this regard and explore such bad practices with evidences. No doubt, in moving to the same we will faced a lot of personal attack but we should be able to bear all of them to build a new practice of a culture society in LIS in India. So, in eliminating the garbage from the world of information explosion, I just want some cooperation form the members of the “Indian LIS Professionals” social network, and I hope you will.

So what should be done actually to avoid information pollution? Your comments are most welcome.

Hello , prashanthi here. what you said is absolutely true. To over come this problem we need to find out some solution that is change should start from every single individual. Every one should put some effort to avoid this . I wish you a happy sankranthi. Are there any sources for classifying the books (UDC) if we give title so that automatically it should give a classification number. will you please tell me by any chance. I will be waiting for your reply.
Madam,
Regarding UDC, I dont have such kind of information.

I agree with you views and it is not good for our profession.
Dear Baishya,
Open Access is a must. We cannot and we will not be able to skip from it. But if you got a bag of your friend over a table, it does not mean you should claim ownership over it.

Hello, I agree with your viwes fully. It has comr to all fields. Even SMS Message all look alike as they are copied. But you can refer to good articals and add up to your knowledge offcourse proper reference/ credit should be given.

Perhaps, you are trying to say that Open Access articles are easy to copy and paste and thus can be plagiarized more easily. But remember, if the original articles are available online, the plagiarism can be detected even more easily. So for original authors, the best defense against plagiarism is to make their articles openly accessible as soon as possible.

One more point - Plagiarism is not equivalent to Copyrights violation . Copyrights violation may attract legal penalties. While Plagiarism is mild offence in legal terms, but mars academic career and reputation of plagiarizing authors.
