SPST 399 Research and Evaluation in Sport

There are many ways to search for information.  Although none of them are wrong (provided you use critical thinking to evaluate sources), some of them are better. Which database or website is best depends on the area of study and your research needs. Some of our subscription databases are multi-disciplinary (for example, ProQuest Research Library) and some are focused on specific subject’s literature (SportDiscus).

This Research Guide will help you:

• Choose the appropriate resource(s) for the research question (1.b) (where would I go to find the information?)
• Learn advanced search strategies and create search statements
• Properly credit sources (citation resources)
