Software Curation as a Digital Preservation Service

Libraries have served their universities in part through their robust access to and preservation of the scholarly record. Two libraries are now considering how to expand this responsibility to include executable content, such as software, models, and educational games. Yale has been evaluating the bwFLA Emulation as a Service software with a goal of production implementation next year. The evaluation has identified numerous use cases for the software and a number of scholars who would benefit from its implementation. At Carnegie Mellon University the Olive project (Open Library of Images for Virtual Execution) has concluded proof of concept research funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services and the Sloan Foundation.
