I do hope that those who are interested in the issue of Green OA and
library cancellations will take the trouble to read the actual text of my
comments on that topic from the R2R conference, and not rely either on
Danny’s gloss below (“The Green OA=subscription cancellations is only
viable in a utopian, almost fully green world”) or the version in her blog
post (“The black and white version of Anderson’s future is: ‘If green OA
works then subscriptions fail, and the reverse is true’”), neither of which
accurately summarizes the argument I was making – though the latter version
comes a bit closer than the former.

For those interested, the text of my R2R presentation can be found here:

Subject: [SCHOLCOMM] BLOG: 'Be nice to each other' - the second Researcher
2 Reader conference

<Apologies for cross posting>
This time last week about 140 publishers, librarians, intermediaries,
researchers and others were about to start the second annual Researcher 2
Reader conference. This is my take on the event:
'Be nice to each other' - the second Researcher 2 Reader conference -
https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1316
A taster:
Aaaaaaaaaaargh! was Mark Carden's summary of the second annual Researcher 2
Reader conference, along with a plea that the different players show
respect to one another. My take home messages were slightly different:
• Publishers should embrace values of researchers & librarians and become
more open, collaborative, experimental and disinterested.
• Academic leaders and institutions should do their bit in combating the
metrics focus.
• Big Deals don't save libraries money, what helps them is the ability to
cancel journals.
• The green OA = subscription cancellations is only viable in a utopian,
almost fully green world.
• There are serious issues in the supply chain of getting books to readers.
• And copyright arrangements in academia do not help scholarship or protect
authors.
 The programme for the conference included a mix of presentations, debates
and workshops. The Twitter hashtag is #r2rconf.

Enjoy!
