Does anyone know if the "author" of the Italian publication is a real person? Are there other publications that may have been plagiarized by this person? Mona L. Chapin Head Librarian Cincinnati Art Museum/Art Academy of Cincinnati 953 Eden Park Drive Cincinnati, OH 45202-1557 Tel: 513-639-2976 Fax: 513-721-0129 E-mail: [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Kathryn Wayne [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 5:34 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARLIS-L] Additional information on plagiarized book I received a message via different channels concerning these titles earlier in the week. We own both titles and the Italian publication is definitely a word-for-word plagiarized version (sans introduction) of Marsha Meskimmon's work. I have withdrawn the Agnati volume from our collection and would encourage others to do the same. It appears the publisher literally scanned the original text along with the images. One of our professors has written to the Italian publisher for an explanation; needless to say he has not yet received a reply.
