RT @laura_hudson: I love this story about a woman gender-flipping a cheesecake poster at her gaming job (and her boss's response!): http://t.co/yBz9uw7sDB

LinkedIn invitation I was most delighted to accept: From "Walter Crawford." The other Walt Crawford (same middle initial), an ornithologist and head of a major raptor center in the Midwest. (My home page has a disambiguation paragraph, 'cuz I think he's more important than I am.)

Over the weekend, realized that I'm no longer an OA independent--especially as I read a conversation this morning about how one librarian will use <a resource I can't use> to advise another which <journal I won't be able to read> he should submit a bunch of papers to.

I probably need to expand this into a blog post, and it's surely going to be some new paras in C&I and slide(s) in my precon--but I'm late to realize that when I say "Who needs OA?" I should look in the mirror. I've been an "unaffiliated researcher" ever since RLG moved off the Stanford campus, and it hasn't helped.
- Walt Crawford
And "Oh, well, toll journal X might just have a better reputation than scum like C&RL and LL&M and ISTL and..." just doesn't fly very well any more. Somehow, I've finally reached a personal tipping point. I'm now an OA advocate, like it or not.
- Walt Crawford
Was the convo on one of the JLA posts?
- John Dupuis
It was at Facebook in ALA TT, and it was related to the JLA situation. I'd already come to the "look in the mirror" situation and found that "I'll go look in Ulrich's to recommend journals" rather than "I'll go look at DOAJ to recommend OA journals" helped push me over the edge.

AND...now we have more than one librarian popping up saying "but Gold OA means FEES." Honest to Gaia, this gets tiresome. Especially in LIS, where almost none of the Gold OA journals charge fees, or humanities/socsci in general, where <20% do.

Yes, I added a comment, but facts don't seem to matter to some of the librarians.

she's not the only one who does that, PETER MURRAY-RUST and MICHAEL EISEN and STEVAN HARNAD and LI'L RICKY POYNDER. (There, see, they've got ME doing it.)
- RepoRat
She picked her preferred solution to OA, NC-SA licenses, and now uses any argument going - no matter how illogical or weak - to support this chosen solution and criticise CC-BY. At least she doesn't post boilerplate responses, yet.
- Matt Hodgkinson
I've had Christina's question in mind for a while, and I think RR has the answer of sorts (and maybe add Bremb to that list). In Morrison's case, part of me hears a need to be The Authority on OA (with a doctorate on the subject and all). I suspect SK does less harm to OA than its "OA BUT ONLY ON MY TERMS!" advocates. Heather P, good to see you in the Suber camp (as I interpret the route you're taking).
- Walt Crawford
The OA movement does seem to attract a fair bit of almost religious zeal on the part of some of its adherents. I think they all want to be pope of OA. Locking them in the Sistine Chapel and maybe losing the key doesn't seem like a bad idea.
- John Dupuis
And the whole "nobody can charge for anything ever" isn't part of my definition of OA.
- John Dupuis
it feels very empowering to call a trolling comment a trolling comment. I should do this more often.
- Heather Piwowar
John: That last one is particularly interesting. Peter S. and others (e.g., Walt C) have noted for years that it would be both appropriate and interesting for a Gold OA journal to make all refereed articles free and charge for (a) print subscriptions, (b) non-refereed editorial material. I believe Science, for example, would do very well with such a structure. And be in the letter & spirit of OA.
- Walt Crawford
Yup, BMJ has this model I believe. I do think it is a bit too bad... there is lots of great stuff in the magazine section that it would be better if the whole wide world could read.... but people gotta charge for something and the moral/research-progress arguments for magazine content being OA just aren't as strong. (fwiw this is why I was willing to write non-OA content for Nature's magazine section)
- Heather Piwowar
Absolutely. The idea that only a very small number of business models are "pure" is counter productive, especially for non-scholarly content. (ie: http://scienceblogs.com/confess...)
- John Dupuis
Walt, I forgot to mention: yup, I am in the Suber camp on pretty much everything. If I ever find myself not in the Suber camp I reevaluate my position because I am likely wrong :)

You folks are giving me so many good ideas for fresh material for my late-April OA precon (if enough people sign up for it). Keep it coming. (Sorry: Mild threadjack.)
- Walt Crawford
+1 Heather.
- John Dupuis
HM's comments are head-scratching, that's to be sure. It's like she's arguing that if Elsevier made its content CC-BY and then someone else developed a fee-based commercial product around that content that somehow the original OA content is thereafter compromised or less useful or no longer OA. Am I reading her totally wrong?
- John Dupuis
It's like how some people think gay marriage rights somehow affect the sanctity or validity of existing straight marriages.
- John Dupuis
I think you're reading her right, which is wildly frustrating.
- Walt Crawford
I lost interest in HM when she emailed me this last year:- We chat a lot in public - you are an awesome advocate of open access, if I haven't said so before - but of course I know very little about you. How are you doing? Where are you in your studies? I am assuming that the reason you chose this line of research is because of your brother? I hope that this is not a sore point. Why am I...

HM is unexplainable. Does she not understand that the source remains oa and freely available no matter what happens to the downstream revisions and mashups?
- Yo Joe. No, go slow.
Not cool to post private email in public, even when said email is weapons-grade assholery.
- Bill Hooker
I'll hold my fire on Stevan Harnad, and PMR just pisses me off every time he shows up these days (what the fuck is with the stuffed animals? is he losing his marbles?). But Eisen and Brembs are very much part of the solution imo; without a few strong voices on the OA side it's too easy for the SKitchers and allies to slide the Overton Window their way. And how is Richard Poynder a problem??
- Bill Hooker
"Not cool to post private email in public" Agreed and won't do so again, Bill. (Have never done so before but I felt it was appropriate in the context of this thread though).
- Graham Steel
Eisen doesn't often screw this up, but when he does -- as IMO he did with the reaction to the OSTP memo -- he does it big. Brembs is very, very good at pushing organizationally infeasible Big Plans, which makes me (at least) shut right down when he starts up with his "libraries will save us!" crazytalk. Poynder has openly dissed libraries and librarians, taking his cues there from Harnad and PMR.
- RepoRat
@404: I've argued with HM about exactly that. She worries about incentives for the commercial entity doing the enclosing to try to do away with the original, OA, source version. E.g. EvilCo™ Publishers duplicates PubMed Central and then lobbies the US gummint, which is famously and horribly susceptible to such nonsense, to reduce costs by defunding PMC itself. (Not to put words in HM's mouth here, any errors mine etc) (Edit: PubMed Central, not PubMed)
- Bill Hooker
@RR -- ah, mine own ox was not directly gored by RP so I missed that. Mea culpa. Eisen is a good sport, you can yell right back at him (I did, over the OSTP memo, and I am but an egg in his HHMI-funded presence). Brembs can also take it as well as dish it, but I understand if you are just tired of pointing out where ugly facts undermine his beautiful theories about libraries and what they can do in the real world.
- Bill Hooker
Apropos: http://del-fi.org/post...
- Bill Hooker
I'll admit that I'm likely deluding myself as to how much of the potential libraries have, they will be able to realize. However, I find the potential is large enough to warrant unrealistic visions and push for them. And besides, my library now does pretty much exactly what I would dream all libraries should be doing, and so is the entire TU Delft, so it can't be totally out of this...

While I've tagged that item--as the first OA tag *after* the roundup I just finished--I'm sort of with RR on this one, esp. given much of what I saw in that discussion. [Both ignorance of history and ignorance of the economics of the humanities. And considering Harnad to be one of us/them?] But, as with RR, I'd be happy if I was wrong--well, not at PLoS's prices!
- Walt Crawford
What I might consider trying to whomp up instead is a SPIRES-like article-level search portal for all the shoestring-OA humanities and SS journals already OUT there. Less sexy, but the kind of thing that, if it becomes a search destination, will inveigle the clueless into asking "what's a scholar gotta do to... oh, open access?... okay, whatever, just do it."
- RepoRat
RR: That's the kind of effort that either an ARL library or, y'know, ARL itself (or SPARC as an arm of ARL) should ideally take on. Or maybe a certain four-letter library cooperative with substantial computer capabilities and a great research arm...

FWIW the concept as I understand it is not so much PLOS as template as PLOS as inspiration. Martin Eve in particular was strong on the 'we need to make this work with sufficient funding and efficiency to not ahve APCs' bit. So, is the time right to build a truly disruptive humanities publisher? I get the 'its not time yet' bit but I wonder if by the time it is the time it will be too...
