Hello,

I've been communicating with a librarian who runs a DSpace repository. She
received a complaint from a student who found that their honors thesis has
been posted for sale on Amazon and Barnes and Noble as a print-on-demand
book. I visited this "publisher's" site on Amazon (named nomadicindian) and
found many other theses and dissertations for sale.

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this. Specifically, what measures can
be used in the DSpace environment to mitigate against illegal use of open
access content? Has anyone out there encountered this problem, and how did
you approach it?

Many thanks,
Yvonne Kester
Repositories Manager
