Co-facilitators Ethan Gates and Jessica Meyerson will cover the following questions with our speakers:
- What has been your process for introducing or advocating for software preservation and emulation at your organization?
- How are people learning software preservation and emulation concepts and terms?
- How have/are you socializing these concepts - teaching, research, exhibits, policies, workflows?
- What types of questions are researchers, students, and faculty interested in v. questions from colleagues in collection development and digital curation?
- What are one or two key concepts that you would like everyone to understand, regardless of the type of use case they may be interested in?
Following on from Dr. Amelia Acker’s research on the FCoP project - What/How do you think about the differences between serving up an emulated experience, and serving up data and existing collection materials – from the perspective of the library?
