As a core list of hand-selected print and electronic titles, RCL benefits from the expertise of more than 300 subject editors and contributors. The resource covers 58 curriculum-specific subject areas and is available in a print and web-based edition.

SPORTDiscus Full Text -- Indexes journals for sports & sports medicine journals, providing full text for more than 350 journals indexed in SPORTDiscus.   For questions or assistance with SPORTDiscus Full Text please contact Martha Eberhart at meberhar@d.umn.edu or call 218-726-8733.

Trial Databases

Trial Databases are available here for a limited time. Please give them a test run and let us know what you think. Your evaluation is important to us as we consider future purchases.

Google Scholar  (in Beta testing) enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research. This is probably not the first place to go, but if you are having problems finding your topic, give it a try.  For help, contact the appropriate subject librarian.
