OISO Now Available for Research


Oxford Islamic Studies Online , the premiere research database on The Qur'an & Islamic topics in the English speaking world is now available at all St. Louis Public Library branches*. It offers easily searchable access to information from world-renowned experts :
·        Prose or verse translations of The Qur’an, plus a complete Concordance
·        “What Everyone Needs to Know About Islam” in Q&A format
·        Articles on Islamic art, architecture, history, contemporary thought, maps, study guides, dictionary and glossary, thematic studies, links to additional resources
The database has been made available through last year's  Muslim Journeys grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association. We hope it will prove useful to St. Louis-area Muslims as well as those who want to learn more about Islam in general.


* Please note: You cannot sign-in over the internet with a library card, but anyone visiting any branch of the city library can use it by sitting down at an adult reference computer or logging on to a public access computer.
