The team also wanted to showcase GT undergraduate students, so she reached out to instructors about interviewing students and accessioning their original Game Boy games. Wendy and her team developed a documentation strategy to collect software developed by the GeorgiaTech community and oral history interviews about how software was designed and developed on campus. While digital projects labs are often seen as nontraditional library services, many in the United States support digital scholarship with software preservation and on-demand access to computing machines.Ĭomputer science undergraduate students at GT will often develop their own GameBoy Advance games when learning the programming language C.
