Abstract
In spite of significant efforts to align policies and technologies to enable digital preservation, one commentator has recently noted that a shortage of money is the greatest threat to the long term future of our digital heritage. This article describes the work of an EC-funded project, the Collaboration to Clarify the Costs of Curation (4C), with particular reference to a gap analysis and stakeholder needs survey which have been completed and early drafts of an Economic Sustainability Reference Model which is now available for comment. All of this will help the project to offer a “Curation Costs Exchange” service.

Information networking is an enabling technology with the potential to integrate and transform information provision, communication and learning. The New Review of Information Networking, published biannually, provides an expert source on the needs and behaviour of the network user; the role of networks in teaching, learning, research and scholarly communication; the implications of networks for library and information services; the development of campus and other information strategies; the role of information publishers on the networks; policies for funding and charging for network and information services; and standards and protocols for network applications.
