We present preliminary results of a study of the spectral emission from oxygen-rich dust. We have observed several evolved stars embedded within circumstellar dust shells using the Short Wavelength Spectrometer aboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The unprecedented spectral coverage, complete from the near to the far infrared (2-46 mu m), enables us to study the relative strengths and shapes of the well-known 10 and 18 mu m features from silicate dust, the more recently discovered features at 7 and 13 mu m, and new features apparent at other wavelengths. This approach will provide the constraints necessary to identify the mineral constituency of the dust grains responsible for the features. T Cep and EP Aqr both show a strong 7 mu m feature, which almost certainly arises from an additional dust component, as yet unidentified. In three other sources, this feature has separated into two weaker components. X Pav shows an unusually strong 13 mu m feature, which is also apparent in the spectra of several other sources. The 18 mu m feature separates into three features at 17, 18, and 19.5-20.0 mu m. The strength of this last component follows the 13 mu m feature. Additional spectral features appear at 6.2, 32, 36, and 44 mu m.
