Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World
www.lib.umn.edu/get/16540
The Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World (EJIW) is the first cohesive and discreet reference work which covers the Jews of Muslim lands particularly in the late medieval, early modern and modern periods. The expanded online version, EJIW Online (started in 2010), is updated twice annually with newly commissioned articles, illustrations, multimedia, and primary source material.

A note on accessing library resources:

How does the library/campus ensure only authorized users have access?
Because most e-resource vendors limit access to the IP numbers of campus computers, users who wish to access library-licensed e-resources from off campus should connect by clicking on library-created login links. This allows the Libraries to issue off-campus users with credentials that are recognized by the vendor. All users who access licensed e-resources through the Libraries' web site must first log in with their University Internet ID and password.
