However, open access publishing of e-journal content does not necessarily reduce copyright concerns. Open access alone does not answer all the challenges facing researchers in developing countries. Depending on the journal's policies and the nature of the submission, any number of reviews may be required.

As the traditional custodians of national published output, a number of national libraries have taken a keen interest in collecting and preserving e-journal content. This chapter has attempted to outline some of the major issues associated with the long-term preservation of e-journal content.

JOURNALS, ACCESS, AND DOCUMENT DELIVERY
It is another facet of the preceding argument that requires us to recognize how the relationship between traditionally understood concepts such as the library's journal collections and the library's public and access services has been rewritten. Meanwhile, a cool analysis of the publication history of the local faculty in the journal may indicate that the annual outlay for the membership will. It is unlikely that institutional administrators will let all the unexpected subscription savings of the transition to open access remain solely with the library.
It is the wishes and needs of the end customer that determine both the service elements and the form of e-resources required from publishers. It is the role of the intermediary to help reduce the cost of all this administration by providing better, more efficient services. This is not surprising, as many of the services agents provide are very similar to the paper past, along with the radically new and others that specifically target e-resources.
In the United States, most agents have sophisticated web-based purchasing solutions for both print and electronic titles, and their counterparts in the rest of the world will eventually be just as sophisticated. It is likely becoming increasingly cost-effective for libraries to outsource much of the negotiation to skilled partners. It is not the role of the agent or intermediary to replace that relationship, but to add to it.
Services are becoming more integrated with library and publisher systems and far more responsive to the needs of customers, users and suppliers. See the website of the Association of Subscription Agents for a list of agents and intermediaries, ASA Members Directory, http://www.subscription-agents.org/. The Library of Alexandria was an excellent example of the work done by those who wanted to store all.
