Reviews

“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.”
—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."

"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."

"The design is elegant and simple... This product is wholeheartedly recommended for public, academic, school, and special libraries supporting research in the social sciences from high school level onward."
— Cheryl LaGuardia, Library Journal

"...the Reference Staff at Sawyer Library eagerly seeks out useful online reference collections we can make available to our users. We've just purchased a very valuable one called Sage eReference... We hope you'll find this new electronic reference shelf as useful as we do!"
— Kathi Maio, Mildred F. Sawyer Library, Suffolk University

"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

"Another distinctive aspect of SAGE eReference is the Reader’s Guide, a feature found in all SAGE print encyclopedias and a dynamic navigation tool online."
