A list of books added to the ISAW Library in July 2018  is now available online on the ISAW Library website. The titles are sorted in the website version according to thematic topics (e.g., "China, South Asia, & East Asia" and "Near East & Asia Minor"); and within each topic, the titles are organized according to Library of Congress classification. The authors and titles of works in non-Roman languages are given in their original script. This list is also available in a Zotero library and as a  browsable map created using Google Fusion Tables. [Update, February 2021: Our new map interface is now live. The July 2018 map is available here.]
