Hi Jill,

This is a very interesting idea.  The oft tossed around idea that APC
fees will simply come from library budgets, while we continue to pay
subscription fees, has been very troubling to me.  This concept would
aid in that transition.

Perhaps there's a way to attempt this at a higher level through broad
collaborative discussions with certain publishers, instead of during
license negotiations.  If we can show success (as defined by all
stakeholders) with a small number of publishers, perhaps others would
more easily adopt it.

I would be interested in participating and surely we will find other
libraries (large and small) who would be interested in participating.

What do the publisher-type folks on the list think?  Would
collaborative publisher-author-library discussions around this concept
be productive?

Best,
Deborah Lenares
