JISC and Ithaka S+R have released a report investigating how digital projects can thrive. “Sustaining Our Digital Future: Institutional Strategies for Digital Content” features case studies of three different types of cultural institutions in the UK that have been successful – University College London, the Imperial War Museums and the National Library of Wales.
The report also includes a sustainability health check tool and a series of action steps and questions for digital project leaders to help identify what tools or resources could help projects be even more successful.
This study is the first phase of a larger project, to be followed by “Sustaining Digital Content in Cultural Institutions,” funded by the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN), and “Sustaining the Digital Humanities,” funded by the NEH.
