New in the library–Oxford Islamic Studies Online!
As part of a grant the library received from the American Library Association entitled Muslim Journeys, we got a year’s worth of access to Oxford Islamic Studies Online. Most of the content is from 11 different Oxford publications (largely encyclopedias as well as a dictionary and two different versions of the Qur’an and an Arabic-English concordance). You can find this resource on our ebooks page or the master database page.
