Currently there is sufficient evidence that discoverability of
information in repositories is hampered by insufficient indexing by
the major search engines. Yandex doing a better job than Google or
Google Scholar. But who is using Yandex? Evidence abounds, look at the
experience of Scielo or the work by Arlitsch. So the publishers have
nothing to fear in that respect. Libraries should get their act
together and improve the repositories in the area of discovery and
delivery.

Kevin,

I have spoken to librarians who have told me that they consider
cancelling subscriptions when a significant portion of a journal can
be found in OA IRs.  They are probably a small minority (at least that
would be my guess).  Elsevier's concerns may be overblown, but they
are not baseless.
