Abstract: The expanding need for an open information sharing infrastructure to promote scholarly communication led to the pioneering establishment of arXiv.org, now maintained by the Cornell University Library. To be sustainable, the repository requires careful, long term planning for services, management and funding. The library is developing a sustainability model for arXiv, based on voluntary contributions and the ongoing participation and support of 200 libraries and research laboratories around the world. The sustainability initiative is based on a membership model and builds on arXiv’s technical, service,financial and policy infrastructure. Five principles for sustainability drive development, starting with deep integration into the scholarly community. Also key are a clearly defined mandate and governance structure, a stable yet innovative technology platform, systematic creation of content policies and strong business planning strategies. Repositories like arXiv must consider usability and lifecycle alongside values and trends in scholarly communication. To endure, they must also support and enhance their service by securing and managing resources and demonstrating responsible stewardship. 2012-11-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/33401 Title: Assessing the Value of Open Access Information Systems: Making a Case for Community-Based Sustainability Models Authors: Rieger, Oya Y. Abstract: In 2010, the Cornell University Library adopted a new business model to broaden the funding base for arXiv.org. Although this community-based interim model has garnered strong support, it also generated a range of questions in regard to the sustainability of open access online resources with a global user base such as arXiv. Making a case for such systems requires more than reliance on common quantitative measures that indicate submission and usage, statistics. Based on a sociotechnical systems approach, this article proposes a set of principles with which to evaluate return on investment as we consider the sustainability of open access subject repositories. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/33400 Title: Conservation Treatment Job # 12743 Authors: Nolen, John, 1869-1937 Abstract: Kroch Library Rare & Manuscripts (Request in advance) 2903 Box 99 Description: Conservation Treatment Job # 12743 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/33387 Title: Conservation Treatment Job # 12742 Authors: White, Andrew Dickson, 1832-1918, collector.
