Scope
The Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Microfiche Publications, is a collection composed of theses and dissertations of national and international significance in health, physical education, recreation, exercise and sport sciences, sport history, and sport-related issues in the humanities and social sciences and dance. There are 10,000 titles which cover over fifty years of graduate research. The theses and dissertations are compiled primarily from universities in the United States and Canada. However, the contributions from other English-speaking countries have been increasing during the recent years. This collection is published by the University of Oregon, International Institute for Sport and Human Performance. The color strip across the top of each microfiche provides a code for the five categories in the “microform” bulletin, as follows: red – physical education (PE); yellow – physiology of exercise (PH); brown – recreation and camping (RC); white – health education (HE); pink – psychology (PSY).
Pickler Library has this collection from 1949-date. From 1949-1972 the collection is on microcards. Most of the microcards are not cataloged in Truman’s Library Catalog. The library will be cataloging some of the microcard titles that have electronic access. From 1973-2002 the collection is on microfiche and these are all cataloged in Truman’s Library Catalog.
