Physical Education Index on trial
We have got a new online database on trial. It is called Physical Education Index
It needs a username and password for the trial. Please contact Maureen Richardson
“CSA Physical Education Index allows all researchers and professionals in the field to acquire accurate and scholarly information in this comprehensive database. These abstracts feature a wide variety of content, ranging from physical education curricula, to sports medicine, to dance. Other coverage includes sport law, kinesiology, motor learning, recreation, standardized fitness tests, sports equipment, business and marketing, coaching and training, and sport sociology/psychology”
As you will know we do subscribe to Sport Discus Full Text which is the definitive sports database. However there might be areas which are not covered as well in SD as in Physical Education Index
Physical Education Index is not full text but will link to the full text if we have a subscription
It is important that we make the right decision so do please evaluate and send feedback to Maureen Richardson.

My favourite blog
I really like the blog managed by Terry Bucknell at Liverpool University: Liverpool University E Resources News
I contribute to the JIBS blog at Jibs News
I think that using a blog will be a quick and effective way of updating our users. It will also give me the chance to disseminate new ideas regarding electronic resources

Learning Technology Blogs
As part of getting this new Learning Services blog going, we’ve been asked to link to a couple of blogs in our professional area, that we use a lot.
As an overview of the Learning Technology area, I’d always recommend subscribing to George Siemen’s eLearnspace blog. This is a very frequently updated record of most of the major developments in the area.
Apophenia is the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data. It’s also the name of Dana Boyd’s blog which focusses on her work around social networks. She knows her stuff, and if you want links to some of her talks on the subject have a look at Dana’s Wikipedia page, and the best of Apophenia page.
