A Guide to Library & Information Science: Q&A
For researchers and librarians
A question-and-answer handbook for library science students and researchers, with special attention to Islamic collections.
Drawing on three decades of bibliographic work at the International Islamic University, this volume makes a sustained contribution to Library Science — a field where primary-source rigour and modern indexing meet. Each entry is annotated, cross-referenced to the broader Sirah literature, and presented in a form that supports both classroom teaching and advanced research.
