Always a pleasure to add details about more journals that have flipped from toll access (TA) to open access (OA), at the OA Directory. This time it's the New England Classical Journal oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Journa…

17 years ago this month, Harvard Library announced cancellation of Elsevier journal subscriptions in order to "reassert control over our collections and to encourage new models for research publication." #libraries Source: oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Harvar…

Help wanted. A philosopher once said something to this effect: "If I spent all my time reading books by other people, I'd never know more than they did." I thought it was Bentham, but a Bentham expert just told me it wasn't. Any ideas? Would love to get the exact words & source.

Nice collection of library negotiating / contracting principles! oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Instit…

Nice list of S20 journals. Wonder if these are getting into link resolvers as open? oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Subscr…

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe thanks, I made it 🙂 (if anyone has any more journals not on that list that have successfully S2O'd, please let me know and I'll add them as and when)

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe I guess if all else fails, the unpaywall extension in link resolvers, Libkey etc will catch them at the article level?
