Thank you Uncle Sam�:� today you seem to have�enough money for
paying�OA publications. We hope that you will be able�to support�also
in the future, the�increase of price due to the impossibility of
other universities worldwide�of paying�Gold OA�publications.
In Europe, the university of Amsterdam announced on the 25th May that
due to a precarious financial situation the UvA has decided that the
OA fund will not be extended after 2009.�Please see Amsterdam closes
its OA journal fund

It is probably time in Holland to chose the�Green Road with the
Mandate, in order to�acheive successfully their Green Road so well
opened some years ago .

Subject: Against Squandering Scarce Library Funds on
Pre-Emptive Gold OA Without First Mandating Green OA
It is beyond my powers of comprehension to fathom why�Cornell
University�would want to throw $50K of scarce library funds at
funding Gold OA publication (for at most 0.1% of Cornell's
annual journal article output)�without first mandating Green
OA�(for the remaining 99.9% of Cornell's annual journal article
output) at no cost at all.
(Yes, $50K is a pittance compared to $18M library budget, but
wasn't this supposed to be about providing OA to Cornell's
research output?)
