Thanks very much for putting in perspective the $40 per article racket. [I
wish all librarian and academics think like Patricia Erwin.] Such practices
affect researchers in the developing and emerging economies much more than
those in the established economies.

Springer charges $40 per chapter, article.  I am not going to do that with library funds, thank you very much.  If you want it (as in your lack of planning does not constitute my emergency), pay for it.  Patient care emergencies - well, of course.  But serial "emergencies" are suspect.

Right now, in twelve cities, they're doing same day delivery on a lot of prime items -- it will be a while before we can compete at all on that, and meanwhile prosperous students who need this *now* for a paper they're writing will make a choice.  (I think that is an emerging problem for us in libraries:  they are used to getting crappy information instantly on the net and better information
