Article Indexes

Milner Library subscribes to over one hundred different indexes. Selecting appropriate indexes is among the first decisions involved in research, but there may not be an obvious choice, and you will probably need to use more than one. Listed below are selected indexes which should prove valuable.

SPORTDiscus

• Updated quarterly, SPORTDiscus contains citations only, some with abstracts to information from periodical articles, books, conference proceedings, dissertations and theses, research papers and other publishing forms.
• Since the coverage is international, and the indexing is very comprehensive, Milner Library will not own many of the works cited in this database.
• The database's records, dating from 1975 to the present, cover sports medicine, exercise physiology, biomechanics, psychology, training, coaching, physical education and fitness, and other sport- and fitness-related topics. It also provides comprehensive indexing, dating from 1949 to the present, of the Microform Publications collection of dissertations and theses of the International Institute for Sport and Human Performance at the University of Oregon.
