From: "Hamaker, Charles" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2013 22:59:17 +0000 What an interesting reaction . Assuming you don't get a campus wide revolt at the library telling faculty, researchers and students that the "free OA Green" is good enough ( a huge assumption) if enough libraries follow Rick's lead and start cancelling titles that are Green OA, what happens next? Does the journal go out of business because its base of subscribers disappears? Likely scenario? Does the publisher put the screws on Green OA? Another likely scenari?. Libraries try to re-subscribe. Does the journal still exist, and can you get the backfiles? hmm? I wonder what Rick thinks the outcome of his scenario might be?

Isn't it rational not to pay for something if you can get it for free? Why have such persistent efforts been made to make journals free if the goal is still to pay for them?
