I realized when working for the HW Wilson Company, acquiring content for
on-line library reference databases - how little journals made, and if you
published in them - it was for the prestige not the money for the most part.
I was on two listserves back then - American Library Digital Copyright and
the Journal Publisher/Writers Copyright. They did not see eye-to-eye, and
the Journal publishers/writers feared their content was being stolen and
traded for free, while the Librarians felt that the free distribution of
information should be the end goal - or accessibility to it.
