British Library. "Ethos Beta: Electronic Theses Online Service." British Library, http://ethos.bl.uk/Home.do.
A new service of the British Library; 250,000 plus theses may be searched and some of them can be immediately downloaded with a free subscription. There are some works in the library on Central Asia and some of those contain discussions of Islam in the region. It appears that the British Library is in the process of digitizing all of its theses and so more electronic versions should become available. Descriptors: B, bibliographic, dissertation, website

Bregel, Yuri. "Religion." In Bibliography of Islamic Central Asia, Part I: History; Religion; Culture, 671-712. Bloomington, IN: Research Institute for Inner Asian Studies, Indiana University, 1995.
Bregel's bibliography is three two-inch thick volumes covering everything to do with Central Asia. The section on religion is only one section of the bibliography and works touching on Islam in Central Asia might be found in other sections. Most of the works are in Russian or other Central Asian languages. Because this bibliography is so comprehensive, it appears to be a great tool for researching foreign sources on Central Asia. It's main limitation is that it was published in 1995 and does not include the many subsequent publications, including those in English, on the region.
Relevent Sections: Islam (General; Islamization; Islam under Russian Rule; Islam under Chinse Rule; Theology and Law; Sects (Ismailiyya; Other); Sufism (General, Early Sufism; Under Russian Rule; Under Chinese Rule; Sufi Orders: Naqshabandiyya; Sufi Orders: Yasaviyya; Sufi Orders: Kubraviyya; Sufi Orders:Other); Saints and Holy Places; Popular Beliefs and Practices. Descriptors: 1990s, B, bibliography, chapter, post-Soviet, pre-Tsarist, Soviet, Tsarist
