Turning the Ivory Tower Into an Open Book

The Globe and Mail covers open access. I like the nice, catchy lede: "This year, the University of Toronto's library system will spend $20-million on acquisitions. But less than one-third of that money will go to books. The majority will pay for the rising subscription costs of academic journals." While looking at Canadian sources the author would have done well to interview Stevan Harnad. He could have countered this disinformation provided by the publishers, specifically, that "open access will never have the clout of traditional houses." This is aleady false, as various studies have shown.
