I just heard that the MLA journals are adopting an "author-friendly"
open access policy. The story is here:

If I were a librarian, I would now cancel the MLA journals and put the
money toward toll-access publications or to some other use. My
assumption is that a Google search would locate the OA versions,
wherever they are located. Is there a reason that a librarian would
not cancel these subscriptions? What am I missing?
