Pay per view or a flat fee will be a decision for commercial publishers. The author also has a right and this should be taken into consideration i.e. pay per view. The author will need to trust the publisher to make the right decision to ensure that he is properly remunerated.

Libraries have an important role to play in the search for information.
A recent Press Release on this initiative has been included in the proceedings. There is still a huge divide between the ideals of information providers and information seekers. Rights owners, organisations and publishers quite naturally wish to protect their work to a certain extent whilst libraries and users need some degree of access. What is agreed is that it is essential to maintain a balance between user freedom and copyright protection. Neither scenario in its entirety is either likely or desirable.
