Sage is an important publisher of social science methods titles including Quantitative Methods in Social Sciences (aka "the Little Green Books") and Qualitative Methods in Social Science (aka "the Little Blue Books").
Many, but not all, of the Sage methods publications are found in:
a research methods tool created to help researchers, faculty and students with their research projects. SRMO links over 100,000 pages of SAGE’s renowned book, journal and reference content with truly advanced search and discovery tools. Researchers can explore methods concepts to help them design research projects, understand particular methods or identify a new method, conduct their research, and write up their findings. Since SRMO focuses on methodology rather than disciplines, it can be used across the social sciences, health sciences, and more. You are now able to locate e-links to individual titles in the library's catalog.

- Over 600 books
- Dictionaries, Encyclopedias and Handbooks
