Congrats. PS: I opened my account again and started up the "create collection" process for my Google Scholar file. It's still running half an hour later. I'll let it run for the next three hours at least...I look forward to seeing the results.

Hi Walt. Yeah, sorry, it shouldn't take that long... 3 mins at most. The good news is that we're moving out of time-consuming fundraising mode and into development mode (with $$ to hire contractors to help!).... we should get to fixing bugs like this soon. Sorry you are running into a bug now, and I hope you'll be up for giving it another go when we've given it a rev!

Y'know, reading that--esp. Alma Swan's comments--I realized that "Kick it down the road a decade or so" is the theme song of Green OA, and I don't know whether academic/spedial libraries can survive the "EVENTUALLY subscription costs might, maybe, perhaps go down" scenario.
- Walt Crawford
Should that be speeddial libraries or special libraries? I like the former.
- OMG 404 Joe
I meant special libraries, but speeddial libraries--"Just call 1-800-ELSEVIER and your budget allocation worries are all gone!"--might work as well.

Oh I do like the way I've been selectively quoted there...no mention at all of "...prices will go down."
- Cameron Neylon
There's been a disagreeable (to me) tendency in the OA-sphere to gloss over the question of loss of publisher profits. It doesn't take a PhD in economics to see the difference between the pseudo-monopoly nature of a subscription system in which journals are economic complements (if your field is Bollocks, you must subscribe to both J. Bollocks and Proc. Nat. Assoc. Bollocks) and the...

Maybe, maybe not. Would they make more from the unafilliated than what hey would lose by institutions also going to very cheap ppv? Who knows.
- John Dupuis
Selling individual articles to libraries is challenging for libraries to manage if they intend to keep the individual articles. If they don't, then they would be spending a lot of money for things that only one person at one time could use. Subscriptions provide long-term access to all articles from a given period of the journal's history. I think libraries would be inclined to keep...

We might consider something like readcube to provide access to Nature Subtitles. http://www.readcube.com/access I don't think we should get locked into $20-30,000 worth of subscriptions to another 6-8 Nature titles, but our faculty and students want to get access to titles like Nature Physics, Nature Chemistry, Nature Materials, etc.. I don't think we would spend that much on by the sip access.

Re "Selling individual articles...": I fully agree, which is why Freegal gives me mild conniptions, as that's EXACTLY what it is--using [public] library resources to buy things for individual patrons that nobody else can use. (Ditto the same company's new ebook initiative.)
- Walt Crawford
I think the author is really only wishing for a service for selling to individuals at a low cost. She doesn't wade into the debate of whether institutions should also switch from an all you can eat model to a pay by the drip one. Would it be worth it for JSTOR (and others) to find a 99 cent per article model and chuck the crazy per-article pricing they now have?

according to this pot dream, 1 microlife = 30 minutes so that's an extra hour from 20 minutes of sweat.
