Economics of open access awareness building - Scientists know very little about how arXiv is run and how much it costs. Improve communication, it is important for scientists to know that open access is not free and even open access systems need to be carefully managed.  Some scientists may think that they don't need libraries any longer. Be vocal about libraries' new roles. Use members to spread info to their scientists - there needs to be outreach to scientific community
. Also make it known that arXiv has a QC strategy - many librarians don't know about it.
