Library subscription rebates for Open Choice content
Dear Readers: Various of our journal contracts now state that
where authors pay for Open Choice (or something like it, i.e.,
cover costs of publication of their articles to be free to all
readers worldwide), library subscriptions will be rebated for the
equivalent.
Questions:
1. How do you all imagine this will work in real life?
2. Has it happened already, i.e., has Open Choice or Author
Choice or whatever, been around for long enough? Or, will it
happen as of 2008 and if so, what are publishers preparing to do
to adjust 2008 subscriptions?
Thank you, Ann Okerson/Yale Library
