The economic analysis of subscription versus author-pays
model was first
calculated for the Cornell University Library, and then

a spreadsheet
where basic assumptions for the calculations can be
modified. There was
considerable debate on liblicense when these reports came
out. To avoid
redundancy on this list, readers are directed to view those
posts.
