—The Charleston Advisor, 4 stars
“This is the first e-resource based heavily on a printed format
(i.e., pretty much all of SAGE‚’s backlist) that will not frustrate the
user or make him or her think a square peg (the print) has been jammed
into a around hole (the electronic). It has been put together
intelligently by folks who know their products and how to deliver them.
Wholeheartedly recommended for all libraries supporting researching the
social sciences.”
—2007 Best Reference Library Journal
“Will librarians and users hold the electronic version in the same
high regard as the print collection? Yes, most definitely, given the
content‚’s quality and the smooth interface. This user-friendly
database presented none of the glitches that can accompany the initial
use of a new product‚ This excellent reference resource includes a
brief tutorial.”
—L. Lord, University of Kansas, CHOICE
“The design is elegant and simple.”
—Cheryl LaGuardia, Library Journal
“To meet the needs of students, who consistently say ‚‘Where am I?‚’
while searching, SAGE has designed its interface with several visual
cues, including a unique top banner for each reference-book title. This
banner, a montage of the book cover design, is present on every page
and changes according to the title being viewed. It is visually
pleasing, stylish, and useful for reminding users where they are.”
—Sue Polanka, Booklist
