Two new databases for sports scientists

The bibliographic database SPORTDiscus, which the University Library offers since the beginning of the year, contains 1.3 million data entries and references to more than 22,000 dissertations. It lists the topics sports and fitness as well as related topics such as sports law, health, nutrition and tourism.

SPORTDiscus is operated by the Sports Information Centre in Ottawa, Canada, primarily focusing on Anglo-American journals and monographs that date back to the 1800s.

Anatomic and radiologic images

They can be exported as images, PowerPoint or PDF files. All functions are accessible with a personal account and the browser plugin Silverlight.
