Oxford Islamic Studies Online

We currently have a trial to Oxford Islamic Studies Online, which contains over 6000 entries from a variety of Oxford publications, including the online edition of the Oxford Encyclopedia of the Islamic World, ed. John Esposito (Oxford University Press, 2009). Let me know what you think.
If you're on Calvin's campus, you can access it here .

One online work (contained in the Oxford Islamic Studies Online database) which we have already purchased is the Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art and Architecture, ed. Jonathan M. Bloom and Sheila S. Blair (Oxford University Press, 2009). [Here's a link to this encyclopedia in the Hekman Library catalog, which will proxy you in from off-campus.]
