Hypermedia Online Publishing: the Transformation of the Scholarly Journal

8.4.3 Financial sustainability

The project is not currently commercially sustainable, and may in fact never be given the nature of the material being digitised. The project team are actively considering the best way to proceed once the initial funding has been allocated. The ILEJ project has been able to extend its operations outside the originally funded period because of early delays caused by waiting for equipment. They have also been able to save some money through higher than expected throughput. At present, the original grant of £338,000 is anticipated to last until August 1, 1998.

Some possible extension options for funding are:

to use the skills and equipment acquired for this project to provide a service for others on a fee-for-service basis
seek funding to digitise a larger collection of similar journals based on the holdings of the libraries involved.
