Research Guides
This list includes readings that focus on a variety of topics, but ultimately link back to Going Public's themes of open access, academic communication, and considerations of (in)equity in our work. All links redirect to the UW Libraries catalog record for the listed work. Most are available as e-books online, and several are open access (AKA, free!).
