However, technology and economic realities have opened up unforeseen opportunities for new initiatives such as extensive aggregation of titles and articles, the big deals, institutional open access, author payment open access, and exciting advanced features of electronic journals provided by traditional publishers. What does this all mean to the future of scholarly journals and to libraries?
