[GOAL] Re: Quo vadere?

Need to check this Heather. Certainly users of the Document Delivery Service are required to check the Library catalogue and those of universities we have a consortium arrangement with, before submitting the request. I seem to remember DOAJ and Base were on that, but if not, that is exactly what th

[GOAL] OUP paywalls to the back files of the print journals of a scientific society

In 2015, Entomological Society of America [ESA] made Oxford University Press (OUP) the publisher of its four principal print journals. OUP quickly established a $39 paywall for one-day online access to a copy-protected PDF file of any article in these journals. ESA members and those with acces

[GOAL] Re: Quo vadere?

Dana, the question is not about whether pay-per-view or interlibrary loan should be available (they are, and should be). The question is *whether all subscriptions canbe cancelled in favor of a complete reliance of PPV/ILL* + Gold OA fees. I think the answer to is probably a resounding "no," but

[GOAL] Re: Quo vadere?

Dear all There are many things to comment on, Let’s start why I see the libraries as the most powerful player in the game, which hopefully become more active in the next years. Actually I think the awareness among researchers for OA has increased a lot, there had be real progress there. Becau

[GOAL] Re: Quo vadere?

I fully agree with Arthur Sale. We initiated a 'photocopy request' service over 40 years ago, and quickly found that researchers primarily wanted to 'take care' of the request and were, over the years, quite willing to accommodate a one to two delay in actually receiving the photocopy. Dana L

[GOAL] Re: Quo vadere?

One thing I like about this kind of approach is it seems so well suited to education about OA archives. If researchers would prefer not to wait they could try checking the author's IR - seems like a line to this effect would not be hard to add to a "request in progress" message - just my two bit
