This library is a collection of resouces that have been published, mainly in the United Kingdom, but sometimes outside the UK, relevant to Sport Development.
The Library is organised into three areas;
- An historical archive - documents published by date
- An author list - documents organised by surname of the author
- A title list - documents organised by title from A to Z.
Additionally, there is a "subject" guide, where documents are organised by their subjects, for example: "Research in Sport development" and "Sport and Crime" etc. There are also "Rough Guides" that provide a narrative for you introduce a subject, providing links to documents in that subject to help you begin that learning journey.
In the library each document page provides a summary of the held document and occasionally a narrative of the given document. Each page provides information about the document size and number of pages in addition to links to related publications held on the site and in some cases a Rough Guide to the subject area (see right hand sidebar). All documents can be downloaded and all are in Adobe PDF format (best viewed in Adobe Reader versions 4 (minimum) or 6 (best). You can download Adobe Reader from the link on each page where you see the "get Adobe Reader" icon.
This entire website, including all documents are available on CD for less than the price of a book, just £20, click here for more information about ordering the CD.
Why do we do it?
We think that keeping a record of sport development documents is important because (1) it is easy for students and professionals to access these documents if they in one place and (2) we consider it important to provide an historical archive in a subject that has traditionally been seated in "shifting sands", documents deleted and replaced as new ideas and policies have overtaken them.
