Abstract
Disciplinary Open Access repositories differ from institutional ones in at least two important respects: the contributions they cover are restricted to an acade-mic field, but necessarily trans-local in scope. Some difficulties that have recently been impeding the Open Access Initiative carry particular weight as far as these repositories are concerned. Two issues in particular will be discussed by referring to examples ta-ken from a small philosophical repository Sammelpunkt. Firstly academic papers can (quite often in different versions and under various terms of use) increasingly be found in open as well as closed archives. Secondly, disciplinary repositories are overshadowed by the ubiquity of academic social web portals. One factor supporting these developments is the conceptual inadequacy of the catchphrase „Open Access“, which cannot prevent applications unintended by the initial inventors of this phrase.
