Dear colleagues,

The [EaaSI](http://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/eaasi) team is thrilled to introduce our Roundtable series!

The Roundtable series will consist of in-depth conversations about issues in emulation, highlighting specific use cases from the software preservation community. Each roundtable is a one-hour long virtual event that is free and open to all.

We’re kicking off this series with “What We Talk About When We Talk About Emulation” on January 29 @ 9am Pacific Standard Time and featuring the following roundtable speakers:

- Tracy Popp - University of Illinois
- Eric Kaltman - California State University, Channel Islands
- Fernando Rios - University of Arizona

Register here: [What We Talk About When We Talk About Emulation Tickets, Fri, Jan 29, 2021 at 11:00 AM | Eventbrite](https://bit.ly/eaasi-roundtable-jan2021)

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](https://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Emulation-Encounters_Acker_RESEARCH.pdf) - 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?
