Need help?
Contact me to set an appointment (see contact information on the left) for help with research in human kinetics.

I also offer instruction sessions tailored to your course and learning objectives for classes of graduate and undergraduate students. These sessions may be presented live or recorded in advance for asynchronous delivery.  Please do not hesitate to contact me via email to discuss your needs.

With some courses being offered online, this could be a good time to use open educational resources (OER) to facilitate access to course materials freely, openly and legally. The Library is available to help professors find OER to replace print textbooks and other physical resources, whenever possible.

Please check out uOttawa's OER Guide by Discipline to access free, online content related to Human Kinetics. 

For more information on open educational resources, please visit the Library's OER guide. For assistance in finding suitable OER for your courses, contact reloer@uottawa.ca. Please provide an overview of the topics to be covered in the course and, if applicable, the title of the textbook usually assigned.

Start by formulating a solid search strategy

Before you begin searching the literature, it's important to have properly defined your topic and chosen appropriate key words.
