Dear List members:
As a lurker (mostly) on ACQNET-L, I follow the posts with interest. I am not clear that I should be directing this to the list, but here goes:
One of our Assistant Professors has been approached by e-mail by VDM Publishing House (Mauritius), which indicates that it works in cooperation with VDM
Verlag Dr.Mueller (Saarbrucken?). She has been asked to make her dissertation available to them for publishing as a book. She has asked me to do some research to determine the legitimacy of this contact.
So far, I am running into a lot of very mixed comment on the Web. Rather than rely solely on it (and because I seem to remember seeing some listserv discussion about VDM at one point), I thought I would approach you all to determine whether you are aware of similar activity in relation to your own organizations.
I would most appreciate hearing off-list from those of you who might be willing to share an informed opinion about VDM or guide me to an informed source of opinion.
Whatever you are willing to do would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help! kst
