Become a SIRC Member and have access to our sport librarians. SIRC librarians are unique in that they integrate a genuine love of sport with their knowledge of library practice. On a daily basis we see the latest information and trends in the field. Having worked with colleagues in the sport administration community, coaches, students and researchers alike, we have gained a strong understanding of the different perspectives and requirements for sport information.
