Reports and mandates...governments too universities Generally supportive, though many prefer green. What will it cost us in UK? How can we raise our profile? Libraries What does this do to acquisitions? Double-dipping concerns Who should handle the work – research office, library, which staff, how? Publishers How can we stay in business?
