In this guide

This guide is intended as a starting point for research in the sport management capstone. Many students are looking for scholarship and original research published in academic journals in sociology, particularly the sociology of sports, business or cultural studies. These databases are a good place to start.

If you have questions about any of the resources listed in this guide, don't hesitate to contact the subject library liaison for Kinesiology.

Finding Articles

Getting Full Text Articles

If you do not see a full text article link look for the Cook Library Find It button in order to:

  • Access online full text (when available)
  • See if the journal is available in print (library catalog)
  • Request a pdf of the article if full text is not available online (Interlibrary Loan)

If you have the citation for the article you are trying to access, search the Journal List to check if the library subscribes to your specific article.  

Find Articles from a Citation

Use the "Journal List" to find a specific journal or article

  • In the journal list, search for the name of the journal
  • Date ranges show the time span the journal is available in a particular location (e.g., a specific database or on the shelf at the library)

Alternatively, paste the title of the article into the box on the library homepage (Cook OneSearch) to see if we have access to the full text. Using quotation marks around the title may help. The result list will likely list the citation. If so, there will be the full text link or, through the Find It button, a link to the request form where you can ask we get a copy of the article for you.
