About this title

About the Author:

Norman F. Clarke is professor emeritus at St. Cloud University in Minnesota.

From Library Journal:

Clarke, a business reference librarian at St. Cloud State University, provides briefly annotated sources for locating business information on 30 specific industries within the broad scope of recreation and entertainment. Among those included are fitness, bowling, golf, sporting goods, show business, gambling, camping, and tourism. A lengthy introduction provides a general background on these fields, classifies terms, and states the work's objectives, organization, and scope. Resources are generally no more than ten years old, in print, and categorized as directories; management, industry, marketing, and association resources; periodicals; databases; and bibliographies/indexes. Two appendixes of basic reference sources divided by type and a publisher directory, as well as a thorough name/title index enhance the book's usefulness. This specialized and well-organized resource directory will be a welcome addition for academic and public libraries serving businesspersons, students, or entrepreneurs interested in the booming leisure industry.
