Perhaps this group can help me brainstorm about a question that I have
been pondering for some time now.

It's often said that in the future, all scholarly publications will be
open access. Without taking sides in that debate, I have been
wondering what functions an academic library in the First World would
provide if there were no more toll access publications. What services
will remain and what new ones will be added to a library's
responsibilities? For purposes of this thought experiment, we can
include gold, green, and platinum OA in our speculations. The only
thing that would change is the complete absence of toll access
publications.

I appreciate any speculations you wish to share.
