The National Emergency Library is open and provides over 1.4 million ebooks in the Internet Archives to digital borrowing without any waitlists. The UW Libraries endorsed this effort as an institution and it is available until June 30^th. I searched on “social work” and found a number of items. This might prove very helpful for those of you who might not have gotten everything checked out before the UW Libraries closed.

Here is a link to the blog announcement describing the archive: https://blog.archive.org/2020/03/24/announcing-a-national-emergency-library-to-provide-digitized-books-to-students-and-the-public/

Population Health Social Entrepreneurship Fellows call for applications

The Population Health Initiative – in partnership with the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship, CoMotion and the Evans School of Public Policy & Governance – is accepting applications for the summer quarter 2020 Social Entrepreneurship Fellows Program. The paid fellowship will be offered to four graduate students from different disciplines to explore various social enterprise models for innovations that are developed by University of Washington researchers.

Projects for 2020 include an affordable technology to remove heavy metal contamination from water, an app that delivers pesticide safety information in Spanish, and a financial reporting tool for public health agencies. All innovations are seeking novel ideas for how they can be financially sustainable while at the same time ensuring that the social impact of the work remains as important as any potential revenue generation.

Fellows will each have primary responsibility for one project, but will be also expected to work as a team, with each fellow contributing their disciplinary expertise to all projects. Eligible graduate students from all UW schools or colleges are encouraged to apply.

Applications are due on March 29, 2020.

Join us for Going Public: Opening Scholarship to All on March 26th, a fully-online symposium about equity in the production of and access to scholarship.

Being public is one of the core tenets of the University of Washington. Open scholarship and going public with our research means engaging the broader community with our work. But how do we do that? Join us online for an interactive morning of discussion and skill building around the issues of (in)equity that inform communicating our research and accessing information, within and beyond the academy.

Highlights include:

• A keynote lecture with Nikkita Oliver
• Short sessions highlighting topics from academic to public resources
• Panel on diverse design.

This free interdisciplinary online event is open to all: faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students, and community members from outside the university. More than ever, sharing research quickly and openly is crucial and we hope this event can inspire and encourage us to give consideration to equity while doing so.

This series shares the most cutting edge work around the nation on meeting the needs of people with behavioral health crises.

A community’s behavioral health crisis response must be regarded as an essential community service, like police, fire and EMS.  We need to develop a comprehensive range of interventions – and adequate capacity of each – to meet the diversity of needs.

These webinars describe characteristics of such a behavioral health crisis system, and illustrate examples from diverse communities in various stages of development:  one (Tucson) recognized as a model crisis center and crisis system, and one (Iowa City) in the earlier phases of implementation.
