Stevan's key message concerning libraries is not prominent in his reply, so perhaps it would be useful if I, as a librarian, were to highlight it:
> Open access will solve the Libraries serial crisis. Publishers' > current profit-margins are irrelevant to the means of attaining open > access. So are (putative) declines in refereeing standards, and so are > current university performance assessment criteria. Stevan , however, should beware of > ... the words of Keats: "That is all... ye need to know." I would refrain from quoting this particular poem (or author) in this context, as the anti-intellectualism implied, however appealing, is not what our duller activities in scholarship are about >Stevan Harnad David Goodman Research Librarian and Biological Sciences Bibliographer Princeton University Library dgood...@princeton.edu 609-258-7785
