[GOAL] Re: Quo vadere?

Dear all There are many things to comment on, Let’s start why I see the libraries as the most powerful player in the game, which hopefully become more active in the next years. Actually I think the awareness among researchers for OA has increased a lot, there had be real progress there.

[GOAL] Re: Quo vadere?

I fully agree with Arthur Sale. We initiated a 'photocopy request' service over 40 years ago, and quickly found that researchers primarily wanted to 'take care' of the request and were, over the years, quite willing to accommodate a one to two delay in actually receiving the photocopy. Dana

This is most interesting, Arthur. Is this a unique case, as far as you know? Is there anything that makes this possible at the U of Tasmania but not elsewhere? You say that the economics stack up. Intuitively I feel that must be right. I also think pay-per-view as substitute for subscriptions

[GOAL] Re: Quo vadere?

Dana, the question is not about whether pay-per-view or interlibrary loan should be available (they are, and should be). The question is *whether all subscriptions canbe cancelled in favor of a complete reliance of PPV/ILL* + Gold OA fees. I think the answer to is probably a resounding "no," but

[GOAL] OUP paywalls to the back files of the print journals of a scientific society

In 2015, Entomological Society of America [ESA] made Oxford University Press (OUP) the publisher of its four principal print journals. OUP quickly established a $39 paywall for one-day online access to a copy-protected PDF file of any article in these journals. ESA members and those with
