UWSP Librarians Are Here To Help

By
Yan as illustrated by her husband
In these strange times, as we adapt to figuring out ways of moving forward, we want you to know the UWSP Librarians are here to help you.

To alleviate any stress, we have been working on several ways to highlight resources that you can access remotely and are promoting our remote reference service to ASK US questions when they arise.

Troy and Evie Remoting :-)
Librarians and staff are working remotely and are available to answer your research questions or to provide help with using online resources.

The librarians have also created many Research Guides that are helpful for instruction, background information, and general subject guides. These guides will navigate students to the best resources related to your class.

Mindy as the Libraries triage director
Interlibrary Loan continues to process requests for articles and book chapters for electronic delivery. Our ability to fill requests is heavily dependent on the operations of other libraries, many of which are also reducing their operations, but we are working very hard to fulfill as many requests as we can.

Matt and his assistant
Our continuation of Libraries Services has more information about accessing resources during our limited operations status. For updates, please check our pages for faculty/staff and for students.

Please remember that the Libraries Staff is ready to help you in any way that we can.

One Islam, M any Muslim W orlds : S pirituality, I dentity, and R esistance A cross Islamic L ands By Raymond William Baker Call Number:  BP 161.3 B344 2015 Review from the journal Foreign Affairs Publisher's Description:   By all measures, the late twentieth century was a time of dramatic decline for the Islamic world, the Ummah , particularly its Arab heartland. Sober Muslim voices regularly describe their current state as the worst in the 1,400-year history of Islam. Yet, precisely at this time of unprecedented material vulnerability, Islam has emerged as a civilizational force strong enough to challenge the imposition of Western, particularly American, homogenizing power on Muslim peoples. This is the central paradox of Islam today: at a time of such unprecedented weakness in one sense, how has the Islamic Awakening, a broad and diverse movement of contemporary Islamic renewal, emerged as such a resilient and powerful transnational force and what imp...
