Oct. 17th, 2007 08:44 amJane's post about the alleged Lanaia Lee plagiarism of David Gemmell's work, along with the follow up post on libel and defamation got me thinking about last year's plagiarism accusation: Kaavya Viswanathan. Not too long ago, I saw that my library still has copies of her book circulating. When I asked at the reference desk, the librarian on duty checked with a couple of other librarians, then said that he didn't know what the library's policy was in that situation or even if they had one. So I checked into the Ask Us Now chat helpline today -- no answer there, although they've referred my question to the administrative office. I'm really interested in knowing if there is any policy at all.
