<div dir="ltr">Dear Collective Wisdom,<div><br></div><div>Some colleagues are completing a large impact statement for a new initiative. They have identified many primary source collections that are available for purchase as electronic collections. In relation to this, they have asked for a general percentage of the purchase price that can be expected for ongoing hosting and maintenance fees after purchase. </div><div><br></div><div>Of course, the collections come from different vendors with different hosting fee policies. It's impossible to contact each vendor to ask for the specific hosting fee. </div><div><br></div><div>Has anyone been asked this question before? What was your answer and what supporting evidence do you have? I can make an 'educated' guess, but I'm interested in how others have faced this issue. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you!</div><div>Mark<br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Mark D.
