Hi All
Bill, don't you think it would have been prudent for Beall to have
disclosed a possible conflict of interest on his blog and on his
Facebook site, because he is on the editorial board of a Routledge /
Taylor and Francis journal:
Cataloging & Classification Quarterly
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal.asp?issn=0163-9374&linktype=145
and was previously on the editorial board of their Journal of Library Metadata
http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/wjlm20/8/1
Seems he could be opening himself up to all sorts of accusations. And
people who refer positively to his list or site might find themselves
in a rather embarrassing position.
Regards
Ken
