The UVU Library Heads Out to the Ballpark

110 years ago this week, the Boston Americans and the Pittsburgh Pirates played the first game of the very first World Series. You might not think of the UVU Library and sports in the same thought, but we have some great resources and collections for baseball--and sports--research.

Dictionary of Sports Studies

This online dictionary, published by Oxford University Press, is the perfect place to get started with your sports research. It contains hundreds of definitions to help you with the lingo.

Newspaper Source

Keep up with the latest sports news and scores with Newspaper Source. This database contains an archive of national and regional newspaper articles, often the best source of information for the wide world of sports.

SPORTDiscus

SPORTDiscus offers a combination of peer-reviewed articles about sports and sports medicine. It's a great place to research the psychology and science of sports.

Sports Collection

Books about sports and games from chess to rugby can be found on the fourth floor of the Library, in section GV.

Our health sciences librarian, Debbie Short, also manages our sports resources. While you can ask any librarian at the Reference Desk for help, Debbie can help with in-depth research questions.
