A guide to the best revenue models and funding sources
for your digital resources
Nancy Maron, Ithaka S+RMethodology
In developing this report, the Ithaka S+R research team revisited each model discussed in Sustainability and
Revenue Models and has expanded the list to take into account emerging models as well as those that needed
deeper discussion. Based on desk research and interviews, conducted throughout the first half of 2013, we
updated figures where new ones were available and added lists of recommended readings, taking into account
more recent works. We sought to illustrate the models by making use of case studies and examples, both drawn
from our previous work and through original interviews conducted for this report.
While this version of the report is substantially expanded from the original, we are also deeply aware of just how
rapidly details change as digital initiatives test new pricing models that shift from free access to paywalls and
back again as new initiatives spring up and others go under. We intend for the examples we cite to be useful, but
we also hope readers will continue to send us other examples they encounter.
