EaaSI November Resource Highlight: CMU Blog post "Historical Quasi-Artifacts and Interdepartmental Teams"

Re-post from @jmeyerson’s email blast


Dear Colleagues,

We hope this message finds you all safe and in good spirits.

This month, the Emulation-as-a-Service-Infrastructure (EaaSI) team is happy to share our November Resource Highlight , a blog post by our partners at Carnegie Mellon University entitled “Historical Quasi-Artifacts and Interdepartmental Teams.” This post reflects on the importance of ensuring that a broad range of organizational functions and perspectives are represented in discussions about software collection development and emulation service design.

Resource Highlights are monthly opportunities for the EaaSI team to share our work more broadly. Resources range from staff blog posts that connect software curation and emulation to current events to capacity building templates that provide structured activities for digital curation practitioners to reports from our EaaSI partner organizations on their own emulation explorations.

UPCOMING

The December virtual event mentioned in our last message is being pushed to January. Registration opens next week for the January 2021 EaaSI Roundtable. The EaaSI Roundtable is a free, open, one-hour virtual event that brings together members of the EaaSI Network, researchers, and other conversants to discuss key topics pertaining to emulation and software reuse. January’s Roundtable will focus on the topic of building awareness and shared understanding within your organization to build a coalition of stakeholders, each of which has a unique understanding of how software curation and emulation impact users, staff, and systems.
