Summary
The Library offers strong coverage of research databases related to kinesiology and related fields. In
addition, this analysis has identified several useful databases that are free of charge and NMSU Library
would be able to add these to our resource lists immediately. The only fee-based database that would
complement our collection is Ageline at a cost of $2,400 per year; however, we believe the Library’s
research database coverage in this area is adequate at this time to support a doctoral program in
kinesiology with a focus on gerontology.
III. Start Up Costs
As evidenced from the above analysis, the Library’s current collections are not sufficient to support the
proposed new doctoral program in kinesiology. Additional funding is needed to support monographs and
periodical subscriptions.
Recommended Start Up Costs
Monographs $ 5,000.00
Periodical
subscriptions
$ 2,600.00
