SAGE Navigator

This year the library has access to SAGE Navigator - a tool to help with the literature review process.  Hosted on SAGE Knowledge, SAGE Navigator helps you find the most influential works in your field.  You can also visualize the development of research over time using their chronology tool.

SAGE Navigator covers the social sciences and has a strong Business & Management section.    

To access - go to Library Search and do a ‘Books, journals & more’ search for SAGE Knowledge.  Once on the SAGE Knowledge welcome page, click the SAGE Navigator icon.
