?
isn't MIT being a bit of a freeloader here, as it uses ILL to get articles

?
MIT professors are, on avg, very well funded so they can afford personal subs

really, the experience at MIT should not be taken as something that necessarily goes for everyone else

I don't think MIT is freeloading from an ILL perspective-- The @internetarchive does ILL exchanges with 400+ libraries including MIT. And while MIT has gotten lots from us over the years, it is not in the top 25 libraries requesting.

So I suspect they use ILL and document delivery services (big $/paper) it is just they don't requests that many papers.

But that is not good news, really, we need researchers learning from each other.

We need OPEN!
