How did Open Access Happen? The internet made sharing scholarly electronic journals cheaper and easier than in print. Prices of journals skyrocketed during the 1990s. Few people had access to most scholarly work.

How does Open Access work? OA journals charge authors for article submissions. Traditional subscriptions are eliminated. Some journals are a combination of OA and subscription content. Some articles are kept as a subscription for a limited period of time (embargoed), then made freely available.

What does this mean for Libraries? Fewer traditional subscriptions. More journals with a mixture of Open Access and subscription content, usually within a single issue. Embargo periods for journal articles will vary depending on the journal and author choice. Authors have more direct contact with publishers – will this cut out the library?
