Possibly societies and libraries might join forces and jointly support Open Access journals through agreements. We each have faculty in key roles in their societies that could help develop a model of cooperation. A cooperative project between libraries and societies has been in place for several years called ETANA on ancient Near Eastern Studies. www.etana.org - It is a cooperative project between multiple societies in ancient Near Eastern studies and several universities. We have secured several grants to develop the project. Although we do not intend to publish open access journals, we are engaged in offering access to scholarly information. Similar projects could be developed between societies and universities to foster publishing ventures to the academic community's benefit. There does not need to be winner and losers as we move forward. Gherman, Paul M University Librarian Vanderbilt University Email: paul.gherman@Vanderbilt.Edu
