----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Charles W. Bailey's message brings to mind the article by Czeslaw Jan
Grycz, "Economic Models for Disseminating Scholarly Information" in ALCTS
Newsletter, v. 3, no. 2, 1992, p. 1, 10-13. What I found interesting about
Grycz's article is that the issue is discussed from the perspective of
librarians and publishers only, with the authors being given only peripheral
attention. As someone who's functioned in all three capacities, I tend to side
with the author and the need to redress the historic imbalance in which
authors, like farmers, nourish humanity, but are often poorly compensated for
their efforts.
