Colin Steele, Snap, crackle and ultimately pop? The future for serials, Serials, July 2005. Only this abstract is free online, at least so far: 'This paper had as its brief, for the concluding session of the 2005 UKSG conference, to overview issues within the conference, and hopefully within an entertaining framework. Readers of this article should therefore also refer to the UKSG web site for my PowerPoint presentation which contains a significant amount of pictorial material. Topics covered include the recurring historical nature of the 'serial crisis', the open access movement, the costs of serials at both the 'front end' and 'back end', institutional repositories and the relationship of the academic book in electronic form to serial trends.'

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
