Dear All,

I am maintaining my blog/website at http://mishravk.com/ for free flow of
knowledge and sharing of information which i have without any restriction
and charge. Today i came across a commercial service provider of Koha at
http://bestbookbuddies.com/faq who copied my original tutorial on " Data
Conversion (Book and Journals) from Libsys to Excel/Marc
<http://mishravk.com/2014/11/data-conversion-book-and-journals-from-libsys-to-excelmarc/>"
from http://mishravk.com/2014/11/data-conversion-book-and-
journals-from-libsys-to-excelmarc/ . In the current instance they have
copied the content and screen shots and converted into PDF with
watermarking, most surprising is they have not yet mentioned the original
source.

Therefore all library fraternity is requested to check whether the service
provider is selling there own product/brain or its others which is already
available free of cost some where and provided by voluntary basis by
library professionals itself.

Please note : I did not allow anyone to use my website materials available
at http://mishravk.com/ for any kind of commercial benefits
directly/indirectly without my prior permission and attributions.
