WELCOME BACK STUDENTS AND CAMPUS COMMUNITY!

Dear Students and Campus Community,

The UWSP Libraries welcomes you to the new fall semester. After months of preparation on campus and in the Libraries, we look forward to working with you, although things will be different this year. With some work being done remotely and some in person, the Libraries Staff is here to help you with your research needs and questions you may have as a new or returning student. 

While the way we connect, learn, and live has changed, the UWSP Libraries remains  committed to our mission:

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) Libraries are an innovative partner in the learning community and an active participant in promoting the university's goals of teaching, learning, scholarship and community outreach. The Libraries provide quality academic services and resources that foster intellectual curiosity, promote critical inquiry and encourage awareness of an increasingly diverse and global environment.

The Libraries will continue to emphasize the use of our online services and resources. Our Libraries' website is available for use anytime, anywhere.

The physical spaces of the UWSP Libraries are open for use by current students, faculty, and staff (including emeriti) of UW-Stevens Point. 

We do have some safety measures in place to facilitate safe use of our facilities. They include the following:

  • Face coverings are required of all employees and visitors.
  • Social distancing and good hygiene practices are expected.
  • Marked entrances encourage one-way traffic flow and minimize interactions.
  • Physical furnishings reduced to encourage social distancing.
  • Sanitizing stations distributed across facilities to allow users to clean spaces before and after use.

  • Our Reference Librarians are ready to help you with your research needs. You can  chat: www.uwsp.edu/library/chat or Text: 715-602-3542 to contact us. 

  • The Libraries remain closed to the general public except for the Archives and Area Research Center (archives@uwsp.edu) and Government Document Access (yliao@uwsp.edu) by appointment only.
  • For a full list of departments/units and contact information, please go to this link.
Here's to a successful year under extraordinary circumstances. Please remember the Library Staff is here to support you. 

WELCOME BACK POINTERS!

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 implicat
