Islamic banking and economics ‎(‎IBE‎)‎ is a fast‎-growing subject of vital interest in both East and West as Muslims change their attitudes towards investments and find ways to invest their funds according to the Islamic faith‎.‎ Along with the rapid developments in Islamic banking there has been a concomitant increase in the quantity of relevant IBE material generated‎.‎ Since IBE is a highly specialized cross‎-disciplinary field involving economics‎,‎ business‎,‎ marketing‎,‎ religion‎,‎ philosophy and culture‎,‎ it is difficult for researchers to locate and obtain information without having to go through several secondary sources such as indexing and abstracting services‎.‎ In this electronic age‎,‎ it is essential for researchers to be aware of the various forms of information available for consultation‎.‎ Yet‎,‎ until now‎,‎ the few previous works on IBE information sources have been limited to the coverage of materials available during the early 1980s‎,‎ before the most recent period of expansion‎,‎ and in addition the materials cited were often unpublished and therefore unobtainable‎.‎In answer to a long‎-felt need‎,‎ ‎"‎Information Sources on Islamic Banking and Economics‎"‎ provides a detailed bibliography of IBE sources concentrating on the period 1980‎-1990 with some data from 1991 and 1992‎,‎ and with the additional unique feature of setting out‎,‎ for the first time‎,‎ the information infrastructure of the IBE discipline‎.‎ A comprehensive author index and a keyword subject index for important terms are provided‎,‎ and only published ‎- and therefore easily obtainable ‎- items have been included‎.‎ This book is essential reading for all researchers‎,‎ economists‎,‎ bankers and others who need information on the increasingly important field of Islamic banking and economics‎,‎ and related areas‎.‎
