On March 25, the Strategic Content Alliance hosted a Peer Review Workshop on the topic of the Case Studies in Sustainability project conducted this year by Ithaka.
Last year, Ithaka’s report on Sustainability and Revenue Models for Online Academic Resources outlined a range of economic models in use as well as several important organisational and cultural factors that helped leaders of digital projects to succeed.With the funding of JISC and the Strategic Content Alliance, Ithaka then researched case studies from organisations in the UK, France, Germany, Egypt and the United States and presented them at the workshop.
Notes from the lively meeting are available to read and download (as a Word document) below, along with Kevin Guthrie’s Powerpoint presentation.
A wiki was set up for the event and that attendees are very welcome and encouraged to post any thoughts/ feedback here. The link is still active at: https://wiki.jisc.ac.uk/display/sca/Case+Studies and the usernames/passwords sent to all attendees before the event can still be used to access the wiki.
