- Abstract
When a crisis occurs, deep inequities are surfaced and revealed. As a response, the University of Washington Libraries adopted an “Online First, Equity First” mindset. It served as the foundation for our work early in the pandemic.
Even before the pandemic, graduate student research and digital scholarship tools have been the focus of programs offered in completely online formats. In this presentation, we will talk about how these programs held up against the pandemic, how these programs have scaled to meet an emergency need, our successes and failures, and where we hope to continue the Online First, Equity First philosophy.
