SIRC
Educating the Student Sport Researcher/End User in Using the New Technologies and Databases
Debra Gassewitz, President and CEO of SIRC, will be a featured guest speaker at the 10th Conference of the North American Sport Library Network scheduled for October 19th - 21st, 2005.
Debra Gassewitz will present viewpoints on computer literacy from a major sport information provider perspective. This session will prove to be very informative!
With a plethora of sport websites, databases and online documents available to the sport researcher, how do librarians and information providers assist students and other end users search the World Wide Web intelligently? How does one learn the basics of finding and then searching a database acceptably or, in the case of SIRC, provide sport information services to the end user, such as a coach, sport administrator, athletes or a university student?
