Summary:
"We face an interesting challenge when it come to reengineering libraries to support open access instead of our traditional job of procuring content from corporations. To do this well will require more than a half-hearted attempt at establishing institutional repositories, posting links to a few open access journals on our websites, and talking up open access once a year. It will require a massive organizational and cultural shift to reallocate our resources and our energies to help make this change. But like the faculty member who spoke up so cheerfully at our latest collection-slashing marathon, I have faith. It's coming. And none too soon."
