The case for librarians promoting open access

The strongest argument for librarians to be active in supporting OA (be journals, books, data, primary research or secondary research) is that library users now and increasingly in the future will be in places (real and virtual) other than the library AND STILL REQUIRE ACCESS to resources. Lorcan Dempsey has written about the need for libraries to be in the flow. Open Access is a simply a part of the 'in the flow library service'.
