Exercise and Sport Studies
Collection Development Policy
PURPOSE OF COLLECTION
The purpose of the collection activity is to support faculty research and undergraduate
instruction for the Exercise and Sport Studies Program in the Division of Social
Sciences, College of Letters and Science. The department offers a program of basic
instruction and an Exercise and Sport Studies minor with emphasis on sport management,
exercise and health science, athletic coaching, and fitness instruction.
SCOPE OF COVERAGE
Emphasis is on current material. Coverage spans a number of disciplines including,
but not limited to, intercollegiate sports, anatomy and physiology, psychology,
sociology, health and nutrition, business management, officiating, injury prevention
and more. English is the primary language.
TYPES OF MATERIAL
Materials acquired are in print and electronic format. Electronic resources
with full text and easy access are preferred. Reference works such as dictionaries,
encyclopedias, and handbooks are also acquired. Specific monographs supplied
by faculty are generally held as reference materials and access is through the
reserve book services.
Generally hard copy is acquired for monographs unless the material is available
in another format. To maximize limited resources, journals and indexes and abstracts
are acquired in electronic format only.
OTHER RESOURCES
Resources not owned by the UCSB libraries are generally available through interlibrary
loan from other UC libraries. Interlibrary loan is used heavily. Many requests
for older materials are satisfied through the interlibrary loan process, however,
if the demand is of a continuing nature the material is considered for acquisition.
