RE: Who gets hurt by Open Access?

JE:  It is precisely the smaller publishers who have the most to lose
with OA.

DP:  So, your advice to small publishers is to hang on in there, put up
with the decline in their subscription base as libraries have less and
less 'free money' to play with (left over from increased spending on big
deals) and wait for - well wait for what?  What's the business model that
is going to allow them their best chance of survival in an environment
that is dominated by a handful of very large players?
