The Library would need at least $2,600.00 in start-up costs in order to provide access to the same
number of high impact kinesiology and related journals as Louisiana State University and the University of
Georgia. Because journals increase anywhere from 4% to 8% in subscription costs annually, this report
suggests a higher initial start-up cost of $2,600.00 to include 6% inflation cost for FY11 subscriptions. In
addition, because journal subscriptions involve ongoing costs, this report also recommends ongoing
support for this amount, plus inflation. All prices quoted would provide online access, which is particularly
important to graduate programs where students may be physically distant from a traditional campus.
D. Research Databases
There are a number of online research databases that provide indexing, abstracting, and access to
kinesiology literature (journals, proceedings, papers, technical reports, etc.). The chart below provides a
listing of databases key to kinesiology and related fields and notes their availability at NMSU, LSU and
the University of Georgia. Fortunately NMSU subscribes to almost all of the databases listed below.
