It's unfortunate that technical societies such as the ACM and IEEE (for example) seem to view their digital libraries as cash cows to be milked to pay for non-library overhead.

I hope that increasing open access mandates - including distribution rights - for taxpayer-funded research will help to break down the paywalls.

It's encouraging that the University of California has open access requirements - hopefully they will become universal among public and private universities.
