Religious texts

[Rita Herl <herlr@USD385.ORG>]

I  believe that all religions need to represented in a library's
collection, so I was pleased to see the recent discussion on Bible's in
the library.  I have been wanting to add the Koran, Book of Morman, the
Torah, etc.  This would also reflect many of the student's religions.
My question:  How does one go about getting the "official" (for want of
a better word) resource of each religion without asking individual
students to provide them?  Doing searches on Amazon, etc. I'm finding
many translations, etc.  How have you decided which to purchase?  TIA,
Rita
