Create new Brill database, Qurʾānic Studies Online

Brill now has a collection called Qurʾānic Studies Online (URL http://referenceworks.brillonline.com/cluster/Qur%CA%BE%C4%81nic%20Studies%20Online?s.num=0) which contains 3 resources:

  1. Dictionary of Qurʾanic Usage, http://referenceworks.brillonline.com/browse/dictionary-of-quranic-usage
  2. Encyclopaedia of the Qurʾān, http://referenceworks.brillonline.com/browse/encyclopaedia-of-the-quran
  3. Qurʾān Concordance, http://referenceworks.brillonline.com/browse/quran-concordance

Right now, the Brill Online Reference Works database (JQX), which only has 19% coverage in Summon, includes these this way:

  1. Dictionary of Qurʾanic Usage (9789047423775 Book)
  2. Encyclopaedia of the Qur’ān Online (1875-3922 Journal)
  3. Encyclopaedia of the Qur’ān. Supplement I - Early Western Qur’āns (Book)
  4. Encyclopaedia of the Qur’ān. Supplement II - Qur’ān Concordance (Book)

There's also a separate database (FNQ) called Encyclopaedia of the Qur’ān, which contains 52 titles and says it has 100% coverage in Summon.

It's difficult to know what to subscribe to in order to provide the most accurate and complete access via Summon.

    Today, the Client Center indicates 87% coverage in Summon for JQX (up from 19% 3 years ago) and no percentage is given for FNQ.
