Listserv comments on the Beckett/Inger report

Steve Hitchcock, Self-Archiving and Journal Subscriptions: Co-existence or Competition?  Eprints Insiders, December 5, 2006.  A useful compendium of listserv comments on the report by Chris Beckett and Simon Inger, Self-Archiving and Journal Subscriptions: Co-existence or Competition? An international Survey of Librarians' Preferences, Publishing Research Consortium, October 26, 2006.

Comment. This is not only a helpful companion to the Beckett/Inger report, but a good idea that should spread to other major reports and studies.  Even though listserv postings are open access and remain online indefinitely, they are rarely cited, quickly fade from memory, and are very hard to collect retroactively.  I hope this idea catches on, much like the now-common practice of blogging conference presentations.
