Rick, in terms of subscription cancellations is that really true with big
deals?  Doesn't Elsevier allow immediate deposit with most of their
journals except if your institution has a mandate.  Also I believe Björk
and his colleagues found faculty often take awhile getting around to
archiving their manuscripts even with a mandate.

Would you really consider dropping a journal with say 70% percent of the
content available after a year?  I'm not a librarian but I just wonder how
much of a difference allowing immediate archiving of the accepted version
really makes in subscription decisions.
