I'm still not sure how we get away with publishing items behind paywalls when a large percentage of the funding comes from the NSF/tax dollars. As an undergraduate, I was co-authored on two papers in fairly prestigious astronomical journals. The irony? I can't link my papers to potential employers or interested parties through the journal - I have to upload to arXiv to show people.
