Inequalities with Free Access to Course

Abstract Research shows that COVID-19 has exacerbated student challenges and inequalities. One of
the most impactfuL ways the University of Arizona Libraries foster student success and reduce
inequities is through our course material initiatives: providing students with free day-one access to
required materials. We are seeing greater demand for online resources, which can be challenging for
academic libraries to provide. Our approach leverages campus partnerships, advocacy and education,
and a do-it-yourself model supplemented with one-on-one assistance as needed. These practices
can be replicated at other libraries with limited resources.
