Celebrate Open Access Week 2024 with the University Libraries

By


The University Libraries is excited to join the global celebration of Open Access Week 2024! Established by SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) and driven by student advocates, this international event promotes the idea that research should be freely accessible to everyone. Open Access Week aims to enhance global research collaboration, increase the visibility of scholarship, and empower scholars to utilize and repurpose research findings.

This year, Open Access Week runs from October 21st to October  25th, with the theme “Community Over Commercialization.” This theme emphasizes the importance of community-driven initiatives in advancing open access and ensuring that knowledge remains a public good.

At the UWSP, we have a strong commitment to promoting open access. We encourage you to explore the resources we've compiled below, reach out with any questions, and consider joining the movement by publishing your research in an open access journal.

Throughout the week, we will showcase some of our own scholars who have successfully published in open access journals and highlight the many benefits of doing so. Stay tuned for inspiring stories and valuable insights!

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...
