Kinesiology 100 library assigment info

During this week (9/26-9/30), over 300 students will be coming through the library from KIN 100. They'll all have a class session in Calipari, taught by TA's, and will each have to complete the KIN 100 library assignment. Many of the students are first-term freshmen and may not have used library resources before so we may be hit hard at the Reference Desk. I've placed a copy of the assignment at the desk. They are supposed to use Medline, Sport Discus, Academic Search Premier, or Physical Education Index (these are all the "best bet" databases for Kinesiology.) bwl, 9/26
