There are so many references to using NDSA Levels to practical effect throughout today's NDSR Art capstone event. It's very encouraging to see how helpful this one little conceptual tool has been to so many already. I remember the difference it made to me!

Thinking of the TBM Symposium today (and the, cough, discussion of high cost of access to knowledge/education in this field) inspired finally finishing the guide to understanding/selecting/installing legacy Mac emulators that I've been working on...
More for personal/small collection use than institutional strategy, but I hope it helps some people understand the pieces/process better.

Hey all. I'm working on an aspirational staffing plan - even though we've announced that we'll be reducing workforce overall through attrition - and I'm looking for digipres positions descriptions - repo managers, devs, format specialists, etc. I have digital processing archivist PDs, so I don't need those. If you have anything you can send or point me to, I'd be grateful.
Does anyone know the tech stack (DSpace, Samvera, etc.) behind any of these IRs?
