New at the Library

From our CMES associate the Islam in the West Program, The Outreach Center has recently acquired the Encyclopedia of Islam in America. This is the first encyclopedia that systematically documents the diversity and issues of concern to Muslims in America.

We invite you to browse the Encyclopedia the next time you visit our Resource Library!
