Academic publisher SAGE has announced that the new SAGE Reference Online Handbook Collection, a set of 80 of its highest rated handbooks, digitised and hosted on the award-winning SAGE Reference Online platform, will be available for libraries worldwide in June 2009.
The Handbook Collection was developed following extensive consultation with librarians about how researchers are using reference collections in today's libraries. Sold as a collection on the SAGE Reference Online platform, the highly acclaimed handbooks, which include award-winning titles, cover a range of subject areas across the social sciences.
The 2009 SAGE Reference Online Handbook Collection is sold as a set and this year's titles are not available for individual purchase at this time. The 2009 introductory price for the one-time purchase of the set of 80 handbooks is $6,000 (list price: $8,000), and includes unlimited users, perpetual access to purchased content, and many options for browsing and usage reports.
