To demonstrate the effectiveness of university libraries, we investigated the relationship between university
students’ sports performances and their libraries collections of sports. By examining approximately 20 university
libraries’ collections and their sports ranks, as indicated by Waseda Sports 2008, we demonstrated their positive
correlation. In particular, the books whose topics are limited to enhancing specific sports performances are more
correlated than those about sports in general.
