Academic publisher SAGE has announced that SAGE Reference titles and online library resources continue to receive recognition for their excellence. This year, Library Journal has selected a key SAGE/CQ Press database and eight SAGE titles to be included in its annual Best Reference 2012 feature.
The annual Library Journal Best Reference list recognises the top reference titles that have been reviewed in the journal during the previous year. The honoured titles reflect a diversity of subjects, clearly representing the growing and varied list of significant reference resources available to researchers from SAGE and CQ Press.
Calling it 'sleek' and 'dynamic' and the 'first stop for statistics about the United States,' Library Journal recognised State Stats, (SAGE/CQ Press) as one of the best databases of 2012. The SAGE Reference titles that are being honoured for the Library Journal Best Reference 2012 list include The Encyclopedia of Housing, by Andrew T. Carswell; Encyclopedia of New Venture Management, by Matthew R. Marvel; Encyclopedia of Global Studies, by Helmut K. Anheier & Mark Juergensmeyer; Encyclopedia of U.S. - Latin American Relations, by Thomas M. Leonard; The African American Electorate: A Statistical History, by Walton, Hanes, Jr. & others; Encyclopedia of Consumption and Waste: The Social Science of Garbage, by Carl A. Zimring & William L. Rathje; Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education, by James A. Banks; and The Social History of Crime & Punishment in America: An Encyclopedia, by Wilbur R. Miller.
