Re: Reed Elsevier CEO comments

[Richard Feinman <RFeinman@downstate.edu>]

The Esposito article does not entirely mesh with comments I get from
librarians about Elsevier practices.  But the problem is simple.  
Elsevier, and everybody else, can offer OA online and also a paid 
subscription.  If the paid subscription option is so useful it will 
survive.  For example, I have always had access to Nature and Science 
through our Institution but I still subscribe.  No doubt Elsevier has 
many journals like that.  If not, money is being wasted.
