Tried to save a graphic, accidentally made a Pixar. Don't know what to do with these billions of dollars in revenues now. #firstworldproblems

True facts: the Pixar image format was designed for the Pixar Image Computer. The Pixar Image Computer is what Pixar made and sold before technology advanced far enough so that it could start making the type of films it wanted to make.

That should get reposted from the blog, sooner or later. It's a MUCH shorter version of my C&I study. Hoping it will get the notice that the study hasn't (e.g., in AL Direct). (That is: Hoping "tl;dr" explains the general silence on what I believe to be an important, positive story.)

There are two major strands to position of traditional publishers have taken in justifying the process by which they will make the, now inevitable, transition to a system supporting Open Access. The first of these is that the transition will cost “more money”. The exact costs are not clear but the, broadly reasonable, assumption is that there needs to be transitional funding available to support what will clearly be a mixed system over some transitional period. The argument of course is how much money and where it will come from, ...

I'm trying so hard to avoid being pedantic and pointing out that just because they're "the richest" doesn't mean that the money is liquid #ignoreme
- Meg V. Meg
If I weren't #ignoringMeg, I'd reply that the assets of less well-heeled institutions are presumably equally illiquid, so surely the argument (if even Harvard can't afford it...) stands? :-)
- Bill Hooker
Not true, from what I hear. The Ivies are particularly illiquid. That's why those budget cuts (whenever that was, 5 years ago?) affected them a lot. It depends how much of your riches is sunk in endowments #omgstillignoreme
- Meg V. Meg
Remember how much fun that was (whenever that was, 5 years ago?) when we could say things like "an institution might be well-endowed, but sometimes it's the movement of the market" with a straight face #sorry
- Meg V. Meg
useful point, meg. Hadn't thought of that aspect. I agree, is a little pedantic because the general point still stands, but it is useful context for those of us trying to deeply understand what is going on.
- Heather Piwowar
It is indeed a useful point. Beyond attempts to actually, you know, figure out what's happening, I suspect we will soon see Meg's point adopted by OA opponents and trotted out into numerous online discussions, with a fresh coat of FUD, as though it neatly and finally disposed of the entire issue of subscription sustainability. Pedantic or not, it might be useful to be armed ahead of time with data on the liquidity question, if such is available?

Interesting: @endowossname has blocked me on Twitter. That's a first. I must be doing something right.
- Bill Hooker
Exactly. It's convenient yet problematic to conflate Harvard's wealth with Harvard as a cultural construct.
- Meg V. Meg
Their library/serials budget is a different matter (and more convincing argument)... are those ranked for ARL institutions? I think so, but can't check right now.
- Meg V. Meg
You could once get ARL statistics for free; now it requires a subscription: http://www.arl.org/stats...
- Bill Hooker
They also don't release the data files any more, but you can buy copies: http://www.arl.org/stats...
- Bill Hooker
From an old blog entry of mine: The mean serials expenditure for an ARL member institution was around $5.5 million in 2003 and $5.8 million in 2004; there should be more data but my blog is borked so figures and tables don't show.
- Bill Hooker
is there any indication this is related to their library restructuring plan? Not directly, of course.
- Elizabeth Brown
Huh, it's not free to ARL people?
- Meg V. Meg
Maybe I am ignorant but I would have thought Harvard's serials budget be a lot higher than 3.75 million a year..
