&#60;![CDATA[Peter Suber&#039;s highly recommended article Removing the Barriers to Research:An Introduction to Open Access for Librarians (Preprint) explains and defends open access for the audience of librarians. I argue that for librarians there are two overriding problems with the present journal system: intolerably high prices and intolerably extensive limitations on use created by licenses and DRM --or in short, the pricing crisis and what I call the permission crisis. I argue that open access will solve both problems efficiently, completely, and lawfully. [via FOS]]]&#62;
