Dorothea Solo has a new post on repository sustainability. Solo indicates all repositories seem to struggle beyond the initial funding. From the post:
When even scholars wanting to do the right thing and hand off their work to a responsible party cannot find anywhere to go, when enabling digital communication and the preservation of its results is an altruistic act in libraries instead of the bedrock of our mission, when worthy digital projects die because we in libraries do not notice and reach out to them, when we ourselves can’t see our way clear to sustaining digital materials… we have a serious systemic problem.
