Thought this article was interesting - it's a bit of a rant but still articulate about how about "free" works and doesn't work with libraries.
...we have to stop thinking “what business model can support our current modes of scholarly communication” by a shell game of charging scholars and/or charging libraries for commercial publishing services and instead focus on “what’s the best process for disseminating high-quality scholarship in a digital world?”
Also might be worth reading Doctorow's
review of Chris Anderson's
Free: The Future of a Radical Price (options to
