The Intersection Podcast: Wendy Hagenmeier, Evening MBA ‘24, Explores Library Emulation Networks Via Independent Study

The Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business pushes students to think about how to use new technologies and other innovations to solve problems. Within the MBA program, students can conduct an independent study project with a Scheller professor to explore their interests more deeply.  

Wendy Hagenmeier, Evening MBA '24, did her independent study with Eric Overby, Catherine and Edwin Wahlen Professor, before graduating this summer from the Evening MBA program. Building on the framework she learned in Eric’s Analysis of Emerging Technologies course, Wendy conducted a comprehensive analysis of library emulation networks, which provide access to historical information stored in outdated software formats to users around the world. 

Listen to the episode as Wendy and Eric discuss the potential of emulation networks, the challenges they face, and how those challenges might be overcome.
