SSCI may prove a useful source for details of journal articles on sports sociology. Medline - an index of medical and health care journal articles of particular relevance when researching aspects of sports injuries, human physiology or anatomy. PsychINFO - database of references and abstracts to articles from over 1400 journals and other literature types in psychology and related disciplines. PsychINFO may prove useful when searching for information on sports psychology, psychological aspects of education, training and coaching. Guidance on using these resources is available from The Enquiry Desk.
Some journals are now also available in electronic format.
Keyword or subject searches may be undertaken to identify relevant articles, with the added advantage of being able to immediately link to, display or print the full-text of the article. Please ask at the Enquiry Desk for further details of titles that may be relevant. The Cyncoed Library also subscribes to an electronic full-text database of up to the minute UK market and consumer reports and information. The Mintel Leisure Intelligence series of reports may be especially pertinent, including coverage of leisure pursuits, travel and catering topics. The most recent information on any subject is often in the form of ongoing research, or unpublished theses.
