ABSTRACT

Library staff in universities often advise academic staff that students under-use the range of print, media and electronic sources available to support their studies. Academics also try to encourage students to increase their engagement in the recommended reading for their modules. In the area of law applied to sport, physical education and recreation, there are a range of academic disciplines or fields of study which can make a contribution – such a sociology, psychology, management theory, policy, philosophy, social work, sport science, leadership and coaching theory. The print, media and electronic sources which can support this area of study are very wide-ranging and might not be pigeon-holed in one subject or location. Sources do not have to be titled law, sport and physical education or physical recreation to be relevant to those areas of study.
