Disturbed by rising costs for publications, for a long time
Digitization should lower cost
Convinced business model must change, no more big deals
CWI plays a special role in mathematics, has top library
Lots of policy papers, but where is the real progress?
What can CWI do?

Do not subscribe to VSNU deals with commercial
publishers
Own repository linking to NARCIS
All CWI pubs full text in repository, so 100% open
