Through EBA, publishers open up their e-book collections on receipt of a deposit paid by the Library for a 12 month period. Once the access period is up, we select the most used titles up to the value of the deposit to form a collection of perpetual access e\u2010books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EBA collections of most relevance for SAgE for 2023-4 include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"_QubvklxyO2P3SN\"><li>P<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/libsearch.ncl.ac.uk\/permalink\/f\/1jraif3\/NCL_ALMA61186691920002411\" target=\"_blank\">ackt Publishing<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/libsearch.ncl.ac.uk\/permalink\/f\/1jraif3\/NCL_ALMA61141667600002411\">Cambridge University Press<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/libsearch.ncl.ac.uk\/permalink\/f\/1jraif3\/NCL_ALMA61104071940002411\">Oxford University Press<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/libsearch.ncl.ac.uk\/permalink\/f\/1jraif3\/NCL_ALMA61145740840002411\" target=\"_blank\">De Gruyter<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/libsearch.ncl.ac.uk\/permalink\/f\/1jraif3\/NCL_ALMA61118981910002411\">IGI Global<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/libsearch.ncl.ac.uk\/permalink\/f\/1jraif3\/NCL_ALMA61186859540002411\">JSTOR<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/libsearch.ncl.ac.uk\/permalink\/f\/1jraif3\/NCL_ALMA61141926420002411\">Springer<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sage Research Methods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have acquired access to two additional modules within the SAGE Research Methods platform to complement the existing book and video resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Datasets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students and researchers exploring new statistical techniques often find that hands-on practice is essential to the learning process.
