The University of Wisconsin – Madison holds one of the largest library collections in South Asian studies. All UW students (including SASLI students during their time at UW) have access to the plethora of books, films, music, and more available through the UW-Madison library system. The library system, however, is not limited to UW students. In fact, UW’s search databases, which can link you to hundreds and thousands of South Asian studies resources are open to everyone. We encourage you to take a look at the below resources not just to prepare you for your time at SASLI, but for future research, projects, or personal inquiry.
