Library Journal har en intressant artikel
om hotet från "Open Access" väl värd
att läsa

In a year filled with drama and hyperbole, the serials
marketplace churned toward a future whose shape
is the subject of fierce debate. Forecasts from
commercial publishers touting collapse and disaster
seemed oddly out of sync with the profits they enjoyed
—around 25 percent on average. Nevertheless, in a
market where prices continued to rise and bundled
content continued to sell, some of the very publishers
whose fortunes are made in scientific, technical, and
medical (STM) journals all but declared that the open
access (OA) movement is apocalyptic in scope and
will lead to the end of journals as we know them.
