Unfortunately I don't have access to an academic library since I graduated and went into industry. Even if you get the cost for libraries down to a reasonable amount, you are limiting access to scientific knowledge to <1% of the world's inhabitants. I hear that JSTOR is affordable, but they won't even sell individual subscriptions.
That's bullshit.
Also, as I mentioned elsewhere, academics in Biology and Machine Learning have revolted against pay journals and made their own authoritative, high-quality open access journals. The model has been proved. The path has been cleared. Now all you have to do is walk it.

God forbid reshaping the scientific process to make use of the singular most important technology of the last 50 years take any time away from some scientist's work - which is mostly conservative, incremental and only useful for advancing his tenure application, anyways.
