It introduces a nine dimensional framework for organizational sustainability in the digital cultural heritage community.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Content analysis of publications from three LIS databases (2000\u20132015).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Comparing the articles to the nine dimension framework shows that most LIS articles discuss technology, financial or management dimensions. Fewer articles describe disaster planning, assessment or policy dimensions.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Three LIS databases might not include all relevant journals, conferences, white papers and other materials. The data set also did not include books; library management textbooks might include useful material on organizational sustainability. Claims about the prevalence of themes are subject to methodological limits of content analysis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Organizations that steward digital collections need to be clear about what they mean when they are referring to organizational sustainability so that they can make appropriate decisions for future-proofing their collections. The analysis would also suggest for a greater need to consider the full range of dimensions of organizational sustainability.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>By introducing a new nine dimensional framework of organizational sustainability the authors hope to promote more and better conversations within the LIS community about organizational sustainability. The authors hope these conversations will lead to productive action and improvements in the arrangements of people and work necessary to keep digital projects and services going over time, given ongoing challenges.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/oir-11-2017-0318","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,6]],"date-time":"2018-09-06T08:27:09Z","timestamp":1536222429000},"page":"182-196","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["A nine dimensional framework for digital cultural heritage organizational sustainability"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Kristin R.","family":"Eschenfelder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8788-466X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kalpana","family":"Shankar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Rachel D.","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Dorothea","family":"Salo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Allison","family":"Langham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"key2020092405170013000_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"61","DOI":"10.4018\/jdls.2010100104","article-title":"Comparing repository types: challenges and barriers for subject-based repositories, research repositories, national repository systems and institutional repositories in serving scholarly communication","volume":"1","year":"2010","journal-title":"International Journal of Digital Library Systems"},{"key":"key2020092405170013000_ref002","unstructured":"Armstrong, W.M.
