"Software Curation in Research Libraries: Practice and Promise"

Alexandra Chassanoff et al. have self-archived "Software Curation in Research Libraries: Practice and Promise."

Here's an excerpt:

Research software plays an increasingly vital role in the scholarly record. Academic research libraries are in the early stages of exploring strategies for curating and preserving research software, aiming to provide long-term access and use. In 2016, the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) began offering postdoctoral fellowships in software curation. Four institutions hosted the initial cohort of fellows. This article describes the work activities and research program of the cohort, highlighting the challenges and benefits of doing this exploratory work in research libraries.
