The
UWI Sport Information Resource Centre (UWISIRC) is
a joint initiative of The University of the West Indies
Sport & Physical Education Centre and the Commonwealth
Sport Development Program.
Mission
The objective of the UWISIRC is to establish
a physical and conceptual presence where the Trinidad
and Tobago sports community can access a broad array
of sport-related information and resource materials.
Further, it is desired that this centre be a multi-disciplinary
and inclusive location that facilitates cooperation
and partnerships between Trinidad and Tobago sporting
and health agencies, departments, clubs, institutions
and related partners.
Purpose
UWISIRC’s
goals of the centre include easy and centralized
access to sport-related resource material, expert
advice, user assistance, and the facilitation of
inter-agency co-operation for further sport development
in Trinidad and Tobago. Examples of centre information
resources include:
·
Catalogued sport reference material
(books, manuals, journals, videos, etc.)
·
Electronic information system
(Internet access to catalogued sport reference material
and sport information databases, etc.)
With
the participation of various partner agencies, including
at this point The University of the West Indies
Sport and Physical Education Centre and the Commonwealth
Sport Development Program, it is desired that the
UWISIRC develop into the principal sport information
resource in Trinidad & Tobago for the development,
nurturing and advancement of sport and related studies.
The
UWISIRC is intended for use by the entire Trinidad
and Tobago sports community. This includes, but
is not limited to:
·
Coaches and Athletes
·
Sport Administrators
·
Physical Educators
·
Health Educators
·
Sport Medical Personnel
·
Teachers
·
Students and Researchers
Program
Design
After consultation with the various future users
of the centre (see Appendix 1) through meetings,
questionnaires, expert input and an existing resource
inventory, an assessment was made that there is
a need in Trinidad and Tobago for an integrated
approach to sport development as it pertains to
resource material. An inclusive strategy attempts
to acquire a broad array of sport-related research
documentation and practical resource material. Sport-related
disciplines and information that the centre will
eventually cover include, but is not limited to:
