This landmark text represents the first attempt to discuss the sustainable development of scholarly information in three key areas: economic, social and environmental sustainability. Illustrated with case studies and informed by the latest research and policies, this book is a valuable tool for orienting students. Taking as its starting point the premise that digital information systems and services form the backbone of a knowledge society and digital economy, this book explores the challenges of ensuring sustainability of information in an evolving digital world. Chowdhury addresses the key factors and policies influencing digital information sustainability and presents a new balanced model of sustainability for scholarly information systems and services.
