Why does Elsevier hate the environment and all the trees and all the little children who will be living in a world 50 years from now harmed by Elsevier’s really stupid insistence that its electronic documents be PRINTED and then SCANNED IN before being sent out for ILL ????
Seriously, faculty should really reconsider submitting to Elsevier journals. What a waste of human effort as well as trees.
Open Access News has the rest of the scoop. Although this isn’t new news, it seems like an opportune moment to bring it to people’s attention.

My first first-author paper was in an Elsevier journal… I’d definitely think hard before that again (and not just for stuff like this, of course). Did you see the new program at UC Berkeley where the school will cover researcher’s fees for publishing in open access journals? Very cool.
Nice to have another reason to hate Elsevier!
Though I guess I am a hypocrite because I have a quarterly column in Reed/Elsevier’s Library Journal.
