Jeanne et al
You may have come across the book I edited Sport leisure
and tourism information sources, a guide for researchers.
My original idea was to produce something aimed mainly at
the library profession but I decided to aim it more at
users. I'm not sure that the market for a book aimed at
tourism librarians would be large enough.
I think it might be useful to develop a list of standard
resources (core journals, datbases etc) which libraries
supporting undergraduate tourism courses and above should
have. This would help with quality assessments and
benchmarking, but more importantly it would help those
planning new courses to focus on the resource implications.
It is a shame that the recently published subject
benchmarks for leisure tourism and hospitality have no
reference to learning resources, and especially after so
much work and effort was put into ensuring that library
resources featured in the TQA process
