Salaam, and welcome to your Library!  This guide is meant to help you navigate information searches for topics in Islam at the undergraduate level, focusing on theological sources in English.  The Library has additional resources, including materials for more advanced study.  At any level, feel free to consult with a Reference librarian for your information needs.

All LMU Library online resources -- electronic reference materials, e-books, online periodical indexes, full-text journal articles, and other databases are accessible from off-campus if you have Internet access.  Just go to the Library homepage or, to make it easier, click on the appropriate links in this guide.  For subscription materials, use your MyLMU name and password when prompted.  Be sure to click on Student status or it won't work!

Use the same information to request books from Basement Storage (you can initiate the request before you come to the Library) and for LINK+ borrowing of books we don't have or that are checked out.
