New sponsorship model broadens arXiv membership | Cornell University Library

"A new sponsorship model for arXiv.org aims to encourage more libraries and research institutions around the world to support the repository by becoming members.

To help broaden membership, arXiv's leadership and Anurag Acharya, co-creator of Google Scholar, have worked together to develop a model in which individual sponsors provide membership fees for institutions unable to afford them. To help launch this model, Acharya has sponsored the membership fees for three leading physics research institutions in India."
