I've started a series called "Transitioning to open access" on my blog. The idea is to examine some of the implications of the growing trend toward open access for libraries and publishers, and make some suggestions to ease the transition for everyone involved. The first post in this series looks at this prediction (hypothesis): Prediction (hypothesis): Journals with strong support for open access, high quality and no or reasonable processing fees will see increasing article submissions. Strong support for open access could mean either open access publishing, or very friendly, easy to find, understand and follow self-archiving policies. In brief, my conclusion is that strong support for open access by journals and publishers is a good business decision, and one that libraries are well advised to support.
