RE: AAAS and JSTOR issues

["Chen, Xiaotian" <chen@bumail.bradley.edu>]

Yes, AAAS's withdrawal of Sciecne from JSTOR is very 
disappointing.  Since it is the first major periodical to 
withdraw from JSTOR, my fear is that other publishers may follow 
suit, and AAAS may have just kicked off the beginning of the end 
of JSTOR.

Maybe it is the time for the library community to seriously 
re-consider the JSTOR model, now that the publishers are able to 
maintain their own archives and library users can get journal 
article from various platforms very smoothly with the help of 
OpenURL linking?
