I often wish large experiments would take a stronger stance on the supply end. At CERN we've worked out deals with publishers mandating that _our_ content be open access, even if the journal isn't.

Personally I feel like this is buying into the system. As it stands I have to make political arguments about the value of open access research. I would rather tell my colleagues we can't publish in journal-X because it won't be accessible to as many people.
