Phil Davis is right to suggest that there can be various acceptable ways of paying for e-content, i.e., a variety of business models. We all need to work together to identify models that will *work,* whether they be the kind of behind-the-scenes, up-front payment that the open access movement supports, or some kind of subscriptions, or... On a related note, Jan Velterop's posting below suggests that in open access models, libraries will somehow *not* pay for e-content. Yet I would observe that at our institution we have paid and are paying for at least some open access e-journals, through what look to me very much like subscription prices, though they are called memberships. We can call such annual payments memberships, or founders fees or supporting fees, but in the end they are a business model that feels like a subscription by a different name. Libraries who have budgets will be essential in paying for open access. If we think that's not the case, we could be fooling ourselves. **NOTE: I'm not writing here about the pros and cons of open access, but rather how we all will support ejournals in the present and future. These two concepts seem often to get mixed up.** Sincerely, Ann Okerson/Yale Library
