Islam: Other useful resources

This guide is written to help students find informational and research material on the Islamic religions. Although it contains some cultural materials, the main focus is on theology and religious practice.

Chicago Style

This manual is available in an online version. LMU only

[Note: 16th edition, 2010; online version will access both 16th and 15th eds.]

Tools and Treats

Find media at LMU

As well as for books and e-books, use LINUS, the Library's catalog to find DVDs, videos and other materials that LMU owns or has on reserve. Use the dropdown to change the kind of search you want to do (you can use phrases like 'media' or 'feature films' in a Keyword search.).

You can also use the Advanced Search page to specify location (Media), and/or particular format (DVD, VHS, sound recording, etc.) in order to limit your search to what you are seeking.  This might be the easiest way to find specific media on your subject.  But feel free to see a Reference Librarian for help with media searches.
