We've put together this guide for anyone interested in exploring library resources about Islam. This guide contains only a small sample of available resources; search the library's catalog or chat with a librarian to find more. You can also visit the Guide to Religion for more information on how to conduct research in the field of religion. We also recommend the Pew Research Center's reports on Muslim Americans. Finally, the Chaplains' Office also has resources on Muslim life at Gustavus.
