English abstract

The last ten years have shown, that Open Access is not only a vision, but has become real. Libraries are in a good position to push Open Access even further, as they currently fully pay the production costs of the traditional subscription model. SCOAP3 demonstrates that coordination among libraries is not unlikely and could lead to more Open Access immediately.

German abstract

Die letzten zehn Jahren haben gezeigt, dass Open Access nicht nur eine Vision ist, sondern tatsächlich funktioniert. Bibliotheken könnten Open Access ganz zum Durchbruch verhelfen, da sie zurzeit vollständig für die Produktionskosten beim Subskriptionsmodell aufkommen. SCOAP3 zeigt, dass die Koordination zwischen Bibliotheken möglich ist und sofort zu mehr Open Access führen kann.
