| Academic librarians usually agree about a single aspect of journal articles in chemistry and other sciences: there is one system which is not viable in the long run--the presen t system. There is less agreement about remedies. There are many potential candidate systems but very little experience, especially about long-term viability and compatibility. Those committed to any of the alternatives can construct strong arguments, but in the absence of reliable theory or sufficient experiment, we are left with opinion--and prejudice. This talk shall summarize what I regard as the range of plausible future prospects, with mention of the views of those who see it differently. |
