Cornell University Library is beginning an effort to expand funding sources for arXiv to ensure its stability and continued development. We are working to establish a collaborative business model that will engage the institutions that benefit most from arXiv — academic institutions, research centers and government labs — by asking them for voluntary contributions.

arXiv is maintained and operated by the Cornell University Library, with guidance from the arXiv Scientific Advisory Board and several subject Advisory Committees. Additionally, the arXiv Sustainability Advisory Group provides an essential consultative role in developing diverse sustainability strategies for arXiv.

Our plans are outlined in the 2010-01-21 press release and additional information is given in:

• arXiv Support FAQ
• arXiv 2010 Supporters
• arXiv 2009 Institutional Usage Statistics
• arXiv Business Model White Paper
• arXiv Support Updates (July 2010)
• CY 2010 Budget
• arXiv Advisory Groups (Sustainability & Scientific)
