Libraries and Resources

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. 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 check out the resources below to prepare you for your time at SASLI and for ongoing research, projects, or personal interests.
