About the Faith & Learning Network

The Faith & Learning Network brings together the knowledge of scholars who are exploring a Christian worldview in their academic work. The Faith & Learning Network includes:

• a bibliographic database and special library collection, bringing Christian resources together in one physical and virtual location.
• a Knowledge Base of scholars whose work is included in the bibliography (still in development).

The Faith & Learning Network Bibliographic Database

The Faith & Learning Bibliography is a comprehensive database of resources related to "faith and learning," accessible to scholars around the world via the Internet.

The Bibilography incorporates:

• materials produced by scholars whose academic work is rooted in their Christian faith.
• materials that explicitly address the role of faith in learning
• materials that, while not addressing this matter directly, embody an effort to engage in scholarly work as a Christian.

Library Collection

ICS has begun to build a Faith & Learning library collection. These items are integrated into the ICS Library, and supplement our current collection development practices.

Document Delivery/Inter-library Loan

Many books and articles listed in the database are available to North American scholars via inter-library loan or document delivery. Document delivery is also available internationally.

International Scholars: We will strive to assist international scholars in finding local holdings of books listed in the bibliography. We will offer Document Delivery services free of charge during the initial phase of the project (until Spring 2004). In future, we will charge Document Delivery fees to users. The special circumstances of researchers in developing countries will be accommodated.

Knowledge Base

As part of our network, we plan to develop a Knowledge Base of scholars whose work is included in the bibliography. Relevant information would include:

• fields of study/expertise
• education
• current position
• courses taught, etc.
