Reviews
SAGE Reference Online has been recognised by the library press as an outstanding reference product.
SAGE Reference Online was selected as a 2007 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title of the Year and as a Library Journal Best Reference 2007.
The SAGE Reference Online database is highly recommended for academic and public libraries. With its intuitive interface that promotes the exploration of exceptional content, SAGE Reference Online is an excellent choice for increasing access to reference content.
This is the first electronic resource based heavily on a printed format that will not frustrate the user or make the reader think a square peg has been jammed into a round hole. It has been put together intelligently by people who know their products and how to deliver them. Wholeheartedly recommended for all libraries supporting research in the social sciences.
Will librarians and users hold the electronic version in the same high regard as the print collection? Yes, most definitely, given the quality of the content and the smooth interface. This user friendly database presented none of the glitches that can accompany the initial use of a new product.
The design is elegant and simple.
To meet the needs of students, who consistently ask where am I while searching, SAGE has designed its interface with several visual cues, including a unique top banner for each reference book title. It is visually pleasing, stylish, and useful for reminding users where they are.
