Re: Project Euclid

Very interesting, thanks for sharing this, David. I think you've raised
some really good points here. There are times, too, when discussion
crosses over from one list to another - the final result may be a
conversation that doesn't entirely make sense if you don't follow all the
lists - you may not even be aware that you're only hearing parts of a
conversation.

Then, too, some of this discussion is actually important - not
infrequently the case on Liblicense. It will be important to preserve
entire lists - in context, which means their interrelationships with other
lists (and blogs, etc.). I can see this becoming one of the areas of
responsibility for libraries. If anyone is worried that libraries and
librarians won't have more than enough to do in the open access world,
worry no more!

Has anyone written a summary of the discussion on PAMnet, by the way? I'm very interested, but not sure when I'd have time to follow up on this.

cheers,

Heather Morrison

The same message was sent to PAMnet and multiple people sent a
responses, which are viewable as threaded responses at
http://listserv.nd.edu/cgi-bin/wa? A2=ind0508&L=pamnet&T=0&F=&S=&P=11313

There is at present no linkage to all responses sent to the various
lists -- so we might be missing relevant comments. Perhaps we need to
create some type of web of related cross-posted messages? Not even
Google searching provided an easy way to locate related postings.

[MOD. NOTE: liblicense-l messages also available by either threaded or

George Porter has raised some interesting points on SOAF about Project
Euclid, which features a number of pricing / access models, from open
access to what looks like very reasonable pricing.  Might be worth a
look - if libraries would like to see reasonable pricing - why not make
an effort to try to support publishers are who trying to provide it?
