Seizing the opportunity of the start of this new academic year, I decided to highlight the Islamic Studies Library (ISL) research guides that library staff conscientiously developed over the past ten years, and keep updating regularly. But before diving into the details, let me start by defining what a research guide is: a research guide -also called ‘subject guide’- is a curated list of resources focusing on a specific topic, discipline, or field of study. The research guides include both resources owned by the McGill library available only to the McGill community, and Open Access resources that are freely accessible to anyone on the internet. Our guides were developed by library staff with the help of graduate students, course lecturers and faculty of the Institute of Islamic Studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. How to access the ISL research guides?
    <\/strong>There are two ways you can access our research guides. Either you go to the Islamic Studies Library     main page<\/a> and look for the ‘Key resources’ menu:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
