The Lloyd Sealy Library and CUNY Libraries added two new database collections that strengthen our social sciences reference collections. Our researchers have requested these two new collections to aid in brainstorming, writing, and the various steps of the research process. The materials are mostly ebooks; some videos and articles are also included. All the ebooks, videos, and articles are accessible through the links below and the A to Z list:
- Sage Research Methods: Supports research at all levels by providing material to guide users through every step of the research process. From a quick dictionary definition, a case study example from a researcher in the field, a downloadable teaching dataset, a full-text title from the Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences series, or a video tutorial showing research in action, this is the ultimate methods library for anyone planning or conducting a research project.
- Sage Reference & Academic Books provides access to thousands of titles from world-class authors. Carefully selected works include academic and supplementary titles that contribute to students' and researchers' knowledge bases, foundational books in core areas of research and debate, accessible reference works, and practical professional titles.
Two sub-collections of note that are part of Sage Research Methods are below:
- Little Green Books: SAGE’s popular Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences series provides short and accessible texts on a wide range of quantitative methods topics, including regression, models, data analysis, experimental design, measurement, survey data, and more.
- Little Blue Books: SAGE’s popular Qualitative Research Methods series provides short and accessible texts on a wide range of qualitative topics, including writing qualitative research, participatory action research, feminist field work analysis, discourse analysis, and ethnography.
