From: Joseph Esposito <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 21 May 2015 19:55:43 -0400 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.
