- 20. Lessons LearnedFaculty/Librarian collaboration on digital
initiative projects Can improve project management Can improve
project preservation Can improve project reach (i.e. making project
moreinteroperable) Can build the skills and knowledge of librarians
by puttingtheory into practice Can identify the realistic resources
needed to sustain digitalinitiatives
- 21. Determining The Sustainabilityof CollaborationThere are two
critical elements to designing an effectivesustainability model for
an infrastructure service offeredon a free-to-the user basis: 1)
inducing potentialparticipants to reveal their demand for the
service, and 2)getting organizations to contribute voluntarily to
itsprovision. From SPARCs Sustainability of Open Access
Services(2013), p. 16.
- 22. Faculty/Librarian Collaboration:Sustainability as
PriorityDeferring sustainability planning can: reduce leverage
incoordinating participation; inflate operating costs;underestimate
costs From SPARCs Sustainability of Open Access Services(2013), p.
