SAGE Publications is, as their website states, “the academic and professional publisher of choice.”  An independent, international publisher, SAGE publishes books, journals, and electronic media.  A world leader in scholarly, professional, and educational markets, SAGE makes available a wide variety of materials in an easy-to-access format.

SAGE Publications’ products include journals in print and varied electronic formats, reference and academic books, teaching texts for college courses, and professional books that reflect practical approaches to new challenges.

SAGE’s website allows users to browse by type of publication (text books, journals, online journals, reference books, and data bases), subject, or course.  Users will find quick reference to a variety of subjects, including women’s studies, counseling, criminology and criminal justice, psychology, business, African-American studies, dyslexia, family studies, and gerontology.  For nearly any field of study, SAGE has reference material that is easy to search and easy to order.

Users can order a copy of a print catalogue as well, or request complimentary review titles for the upcoming academic year in a wide range of subjects.

Authors of primary research articles for biomedical journals can make their work freely available on a large number of biomedical journals through SAGE journals online on a fee per article basis.

The site’s librarian site section offers a wealth of information for maximizing use of SAGE’s services, and SAGE collaborates with a number of society and associations, large and small, to bring to users a vast variety of published material across the curriculum.

SAGE offers an easy-to-use site search feature as well as secure online ordering, so users can feel safe about purchasing materials from the site.  Faculty can request a complimentary review copy of materials, and SAGE offers a 60 day examination period for many texts as well.

Users can also sign up for journal alerts, product alerts, and a librarians’ newsletter, all available by email.
