RE: Chronicle article: Subscription Service's Difficulties Could Be Costly for Libraries and Publishers

[Jan Velterop <jan@biomedcentral.com>]

This is a very serious issue, indeed. Open Access publishing, particularly
so-called 'input-paid' open access publishing, ensures the free and
perpetual availability and accessibility (via various open repositories)
of articles after they have been published, whatever happens to publishers
or agents. It is encouraging to see the increasing support for open access
in the library community (e.g. see http://www.biomedcentral.com/inst/).
