[edit] Strategies for Sustaining Digital Libraries
In recent years, an enormous number of digital libraries have been created, frequently by means of one-time grants and other soft funding mechanisms. Sustaining these digital libraries in the long term has become a critical concern for the stakeholders involved in these endeavors, especially their creators, funders, and audiences.
The articles of this monograph provide resources for digital library stakeholders who seek to better understand how to effectively evolve such efforts from short-term projects to long-term sustainable programs. The monograph includes contributions from leaders in major digital libraries that have made such transitions or which are systematically considering the question of programmatic sustainability, including representatives from the National Digital Infrastructure and Information Preservation Program (NDIIPP) and the National Science Digital Library (NSDL).
