Globalization - A Research Guide to Resources in the Princeton University Library

ISLAMIC  WORLD

Index Islamicus, subscription database.
Created at Cambridge University in the U.K., Index Islamicus  indexes literature on Islam, the Middle East and the Muslim world. Records included in the database cover almost a century of publications, with some going back to 1906.  Index Islamicus includes not only work written about the Middle East, but also about the other main Muslim areas of Asia and Africa, plus Muslim minorities elsewhere. Over 2,000 journals are monitored for inclusion in the database, together with conference proceedings, monographs, multi-authored works and book reviews. Journals and books are indexed down to the article and chapter level.  Subjects covered incude accounting, archaeology, arts bibliography & scholarship, economics, education, middle east, geography, history, Islam, law, literature, natural & applied sciences, philosophy, politics, religion, social sciences, theology, travel, and zoology.  Coverage is from 1906 to the present. 

Please note that since this is an index and not a full text source, once materials have been identified in the here, it will be necessary in a separate step to search the library's Online Catalog to see if they are held at Princeton.  Those which this library does not own can be requested through Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery services.
