University students are on the spot over
photocopying of text books and other related materials in the Country
forcing publishers to fear publishing University books.
According to
publisher who did not wants to be named University students are
leading in photocopying of text books because they just buy one text
book and photocopy which is a blow to both publishers and writers
This traditions of photocopying had forced both publishers and writers
to fear dealing in University books because there is no profit out of
it.
Officials of Photocopy organization who did not wants to be named
because he also teach in University said that they are working on the
formula r to save publishing industry because photocopying had reached
at ahigh point on which publishers cannot pay writers
What is needed is creating awareness on the dangerous of photocopying of
text books among the University students and some Scholars
Prof
Chris Wanjala of University of Nairobi said even though they are
planning to start regional journal but they are stealing fearing
photocopying among the society of academia
He said that the planned journal will bring together Scholars from East
Africa region because there are more to be published in the field of
research but there is no serious journal.
While appealing to both
publishers and readers to join up and fight photocopying he said that
the planned journal will be abridge to East Africa Scholars
