This database of just under three thousand references was compiled between 1996 and 1999, and lists works cited in relevant Open University Religious Studies courses together with further references supplied by academic staff of the department. The material relates primarily, but not exclusively, to the twentieth century. The listing is not a comprehensive one, and it reflects the particular expertise and interests of the compilers, with emphases on the British Isles and on Islam. The database is not currently being updated and so works published since 1999 are not included.
The database is offered on the web as a service to the scholarly community. It is important that users are aware of its context and limitations, but we hope that they will find it of interest and value. Academic co-ordination of the project was by Dr Anna Zelkina and Professor John Wolffe, and the great majority of the data was input by Ms Hilary Boland. Comments are welcome and should be directed to Professor Wolffe (j.r.wolffe@open.ac.uk).
