Islam Subjects and Titles
With initial holdings totalling around 900 titles, our aim is to represent the broad range of themes within Islamic Studies while still offering the foundational texts and essential reference resources that visiting scholars would expect. The longer-term intent is that the collection evolves and expands according to the needs of its users.
