Abstract: Sustainable developments rely on the three pillars of sustainability – economic, social and environmental sustainability – and this chapter discusses various aspects of sustainable communication processes in today's digital age. It proposes an integrated model for study of the sustainability of scholarly communication processes in general, and sustainability of information services in particular. First a generic framework for study of the sustainability of information systems and services is proposed. The model is then used to investigate various factors responsible for the economic, social and environmental sustainability of information systems and services. It is shown that the conceptual model can be used to study the sustainability of the scholarly communication processes in general. The proposed model can also be used to identify factors responsible for the sustainability of any digital library or information service.
