[BOAI] Re: [sparc-oaforum] Role of the Librarian in an Open Access world

[Peter Suber]

Jeffrey:  Yes.  It presuppose that all OA is gold OA, and that all OA
journals charge author-side publication fees (when only 30% do so).

I'm not a librarian, and therefore didn't open or take the survey. But if I
had opened it, I would not have forwarded it.
