LIBRARY RESOURCES FOR KINESIOLOGY
This guide should be used as a resource to help find material in the MSU Libraries. It is not intended to be comprehensive. Please visit the Main Library Reference Desk or contact Sheila Bryant for further assistance.
MSU Library Materials
Magic is the online catalog for all of the MSU libraries holdings and is used to locate books and journals owned by MSU.
IMPORTANT! - You can only use Magic to find the titles of books and journals the library owns, not the titles of articles. To find articles you must use a database or an electronic journal. You can search Magic by Author, Keyword, Subject and Title.
Use to find journal articles
Electronic Databases - have journal citations, most contain abstracts and/or full-text.
Electronic Journals - In most cases the actual individual issue is in electronic format. Many electronic journals are full-text and do not have search capability. If you click on a date the table of contents of that particular issue appears.
