Sharing and building bibliographic capacity in Islamic Studies: law and finance
Fully Booked
15 June 2011
Radcliffe House, University of Warwick
The ability to locate and manipulate bibliographic material is as vital for research as it is for teaching and learning. Islamic Studies is no exception. However, particular, and sometimes acute problems, are encountered in this field. Sources are widely scattered. They are often situated in outlets which are difficult to find. Multilingual capacity is needed.
Using the Law of Islamic Finance as a pilot project, colleagues at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) and the University of Warwick have been exploring the possibility of using electronic, web-based means to resolve this problem. Nick Foster and Shaheen Sardar Ali will explore the capabilities of Zotero, as modified by Frank Bennett of Nagoya University, to create a shared resource to which scholars can contribute, and on which they can draw, from all over the world.
This event is of interest to everyone researching and teaching Islamic Studies.
