Abstract: Through exploring the concept of transformative change, this session will question the extent to which academic libraries’ open access publishing services can bear impact upon systemic changes to a commercial publishing industry that continues to erode the proud history of libraries as providers of information to the public without charge. Presented at the Progressive Librarians Guild (PLG) Edmonton Symposium on Oct. 18, 2014
