1) How much it cost to put your collections online? (Not including
digitisation costs)
2) How many page views, on average, the online collections receive
per month?
3) If you have participated in any cross-institutional collections
projects (e.g. Europeana, People's Network, NMOLP), how much it
cost to make your collections available to the project (or how much
