Sources for Jainism

Hi RJShashwat, I saw your note at WikiProject Jainism. Here are some sources that you can start using immediately:

"su:Jainism". WorldCat.
"search results for Jainism". Google Scholar.
"search results for Jainism". Internet Archive.
"Full-text Search Results for Jainism". HathiTrust Digital Library.
"jainism". Google Books Search. (preferably with Limited preview and full view selected in the advanced search)

After you meet the Wikipedia Libary criteria (any registered editor whose account is six months old and has 500 edits; also 10+ edits in the last 30 days & no active blocks), you can apply to the Wikipedia Library (home page). Once registered there, you can also request privileges to collections (that) are accessible on a per application basis only & register for sites such as jstor.com.

Thank you so much for the resources! I have been actively involved in jotting down sources for many unsourced and unreferenced articles in the project. This helps a lot. I will surely remember to apply to the library in 6 months! RJShashwat (talk) 16:52, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
