The Sustaining Digital Resources course will be running again in 2016.

The next session of this “business strategy bootcamp” includes a 3-day
intensive workshop, Jan 13-15, in Princeton, with webinars before and
after. Deadline for applications is November 25, 2015. The program,
formerly run by Ithaka S+R, is now being run by my firm, BlueSky to
BluePrint. More dates to be announced soon.

Application (due 25 November) is here:

The program is for those leading new and innovative projects they hope
to see grow and thrive over time. While many can benefit from this
training, this particular workshop works best when participants –
especially teams of two – focus on a specific significant project,
making their work directly and immediately relevant by helping them to
refine their understanding of their key audiences and stakeholders,
develop an ongoing budget, and explore potential funding models.

If you have any questions, or would like to consider hosting this
program on your campus or customizing it for your staff, please email

Some words from those who participated in the Ithaka-run program:

This course is like doing a very topic-centric mini business degree
where the subject is your digital project.   —Michael Zentner, Senior
Research Scientist & Entrepreneur in Residence, Network for
Computational Nanotechnology & The Foundry

A great opportunity for me to step back and think strategically about
Rotunda’s products and business models within the context of a group
of creative and experienced digital resource development
professionals.  —Mark Saunders, Director & Editor-in-Chief, University
of Virginia Press

Through carefully charted modules, didactic materials, and group
exercises [the faculty] gave participants insightful prods that got us
thinking about our resource’s core value, key constituents, and
uncertainties. Thanks to the course, the ICAA’s Documents Project is
well on its unique pathway to sustainability!   —María C. Gaztambide,
