Yeah, uh, this whole thing has been pretty wild. Up to nearly 12K page views, which is by far the most popular post I've ever done. Posts on the politicization of science in Canada have always been popular, but in the 1-2K page view range.

- John Dupuis
Who did you pay, and how much?
- Joe Boone
I wish I were that smart. I guess I should mention that I did submit the post to BB but I imagine they pick up only a very small portion of what's submitted. I suspected I would have a decent shot because Cory Doctorow is Canadian and he has posted about the Canadian goverment in the past. Aside from that, all I did was tweet it up a bit more than usual.
- John Dupuis
Didn't know that there was a process for submitting posts to BB, and that is good to know.
- Joe Boone
Edging up to 30K page views, 73 comments, 7K likes, 1100 tweets, 200 +1's and more than a dozen links from other blogs (including Bruce Sterling, of all people). Probably a dozen or so emails with suggestions, some from insiders. This is seriously unlike anything else that's ever happened.

The Death Star Library, or Library and Archives as it was officially known, was a large library on Deck 106 in Sector N-One of the original Death Star. Most information in the library was transferred to phononic lattice storage. The library's data channel was 557.9. It was run by Atour Riten.

What's the most polite verb combo for turning down a non-OA writing gig? "Cannot" is untrue. "Will not" sounds petulant. "Choose not to" sounds entitled.

Maybe expressing as a positive? "I only write for open-access publications" or similar. Leaves the door open to "hey, we're gonna release this OA!"
- RepoRat
"I would prefer not to."
- Stephen le Francoeur
can you work "committed"/"commitment" in there somehow? "I am committed to writing only for open-access publications"?
- Catherine Pellegrino
or just "don't": "I don't write for publications that don't permit some degree of open access."

Yeah, I think it's some form of "I have committed to... and therefore am currently unable to..." with a side of "if X implements a more OA-friendly blah blah, I'd be happy to reconsider" (if that's true)

I think RR gets it in one, although you might want to add "articles" to that--"I only write articles for open access journals." Or what Catherine says (but do you feel the same about books?)

Right. Is not just the number of links. I wouldn't suggest ours is among the worst either. At least the current version. But i think our libguides home might almost rank as that and it's mostly my fault.

regarding that blog post, apart from gray on black problems, there's this: libraries that don't have a discovery layer are just plain stupid. "If finances are so bad, and there’s no other viable way, they should get rid of a member of library staff and invest instead in improving the services that are actually needed." Because as we all know, Primo and Summon work without any need for staff whatsoever.

I hereby resolve not to use the word "purchase" to describe the library's acquisition of content or a service unless the library then owns said content or service. All ongoing payments are "subscriptions" and should be so named.

- lris
Iris, do you mean things where your library has to pay an annual "hosting fee"?
- Stephen le Francoeur
Well, that depends. We do own Web of Science data, because there's a one-time fee to pay for the content, and then an ongoing access fee. And we have in the past taken the WoS data and loaded it on to a local platform. So, if you were to cancel JSTOR, would they send you a DVD of the content you'd paid for? Except for one library, I don't think that penguin/overdrive sold books to anybody. Even if they were using the word "purchase" to describe what was happening.

That was Amazon. And they seriously screwed up on that one, because they were selling content into jurisdictions where they didn't have the rights to sell it (what with it not being in the public domain in the United States).
- DJF
Penguin disappeared all Kindle versions of ebooks from Overdrive a couple of years ago, overnight. The Orwell thing was actually a separate incident a few years before.
- laura x
Thanks Laura, that's what I was thinking of.
- lris
Regarding ebooks, it's always been a bit fishy. OverDrive originally said we owned them. Then it said we didn't (see awesome Kansas librarians fighting back). Now Random House says we own their ebooks (which they charge 300% more for).
- laura x
There's what Random House says, and there's what Random House's contract says. In this case, unless the contract says that we get perpetual access, with a right to request the content for local hosting (subject to reasonable[sic] access management), then no, we don't own it.
- DJF
MPOW does, in fact, own the Springer ebooks, and we are providing parallel access through both the Springer website and a local, consortially run, server. But the same is not true of Elsevier books that we buy through our normal book distributor, even though we would own them if we bought directly from Elsevier.
- DJF
Ok, that makes some sense. I haven't seen our contracts, but I do know that our policy for the last several years has been to purchase e-content whenever possible rather than subscribe. So then theoretically we should be able to get disappeared content in some other form as long as we host it ourselves?
- lris
indeed, it is the "some other form" that keeps this e-resources librarian up at night.
- Marie
no kidding...
- lris
also the "host it ourselves"...
- lris
well, yeah, that too.
- Marie
Yeah. We're lucky that we have consortial support for that, because really, we'd be screwed if we had to provide a platform. We could probably stuff it all into some IR platform, I suppose.
- DJF
I guess I have to hope that if JSTOR goes under, someone will make an open source platform for us to load content into.
- lris
If JSTOR goes under, we're all going to have bigger problems than where to host the content.
- DJF
CLOCKSS and Portico fulfill the "some other form" need for many platforms. Not sure whether JSTOR is signed up with one or the other, but I wouldn't be surprised. Checking Portico...
- RepoRat
Well, then there's the issue of affording membership to those things.
- lris
Trigger events with CLOCKSS and Portico trigger OA. They're per-publisher, though, so JSTOR must have alternative arrangements.
- RepoRat
Huh. Ok.
- lris
I say "we have a license to..." since there are things we subscribe to and own (e.g. printed newspapers) so I don' t feel "subscription" is enough of a signal that there are special circumstances at play ...
- Lisa Hinchliffe
good point. would "temporary access" be better?
- RepoRat
Lisa, good point. I am really primarily focused on electronic content. I find it particular egregious when used to talk about services, as in, "We just bought Mendeley". No, we didn't. Unless we're suddenly venture capitalists. We subscribed to it.
- DJF
Totally agree. I think it as casual usage by most people - not literalness - but I think we need to be really careful. I see word choice as part of an informal information literacy curriculum when we talk to/around users. Not to start a war here about info lit but, even as a coordinator of info lit in formal ways, I think our informal curriculum is much more powerful and - distressingly problematic ...
- Lisa Hinchliffe
no fighting from me on that; I think that's absolutely right.
- RepoRat
Our ERL who deals with ebooks is trying to keep us updated on what we own vs. lease via a LibGuide, but for any one vendor there can be five models we're using. I totally agree that saying we license things is a much better and truer way to talk about our e-collections.
- kaijsa
Many of our e-journals are not governed by a license, they're just subscribed e-content.
- Marie
What kind of subscription is there that isn't a license for a e-content? Maybe I don't realize all the possibilities (they do seem to keep multiplying!) ...
- Lisa Hinchliffe
When we transitioned from print to electronic subscriptions for our journals, we negotiated perpetual access for the content that we paid for. So, if we cancel a journal tomorrow, we continue to get access to the years that we subscribed, but new content moving forward isn't available.
- DJF
Here's an example of e-content you can subscribe to but there isn't a license: http://journals.humankinetics.com/; we pay an annual subscription through our vendor but don't sign any paperwork that governs how we may use the material. In addition, we have many print+online subscriptions, where e-access is granted as long as we subscribe to the print; when we cancel the subscription the e-access goes away.
- Marie
What's to stop us from all sharing a subscription to that kind of thing then?
- Meg V. Meg
I mean, it's fine with me if the answer is "fairness and decency", I'm just not used to being trusted that much by publishers, so I'm curious what the catch is :)
