About Your New Library Resource: Sage Catalyst
What is Sage Catalyst?
Sage Catalyst is a new teaching and learning tool providing unlimited, university-wide access to over 750 Sage premium social science textbooks. It enables blended learning through virtual collaboration, classroom discussion, and peer-to-peer learning within the textbooks and other multi-media resources – powered by Talis Elevate.
Faculty can embed chapters directly in their Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) or Learning Management System (LMS) and view analytics at course, resource, and student levels. This gives valuable insight into student engagement while also providing equitable access to core texts across ten disciplines, including business & management, research methods, education, psychology, and more.

Getting Started: How to access Sage Catalyst
How to access the eTextbooks
You can access the Sage Catalyst textbook collection in two main ways:
- via your institution's library catalogue - this is the main way students access the eTextbooks, and access is institution-wide and unlimited.
- via your institution's discovery layer - this is for faculty to browse the eTextbooks. Faculty can add chapters from the discovery layer into modules for their class in the Talis Elevate app. Faculty can then share all the resources in these modules with their students via a link or by embedding them in their VLE. Contact your library administrator or check your library resources for the correct link.”
