| Sage Publications - Book Companion Websites |
| Welcome to the Companion Website.
The online portal to accompany the books published by
Sage Publications. Through this site you can navigate
to additional learning resources and accompanying material.
You can also find your way to the Sage Publications Website
for additional resources for lecturers, book authors/editors,
societies and associations, librarians, subscription agents
and booksellers. |
| You can also link directly to the
Sage Online Journals platform and take advantage of the
many facilities available to aid in you research. |
| There are two ways of accessing the
website you require. You can simply locate the site by
author name or by book title by clicking the links at
the top of the page. |
| |
| Putting Together a Companion Website |
| There are two types of Companion Websites,
A-List and Standard. The Standard "Blue" template
is intended to cover the majority of the Companion Website
requirements. The A-List template is intended for higher
profile books and the design is generally based on the
cover design. |
Take some time to look at the previous
examples available. The A-List websites are marked
by the  icon. Pay particular
attention to the layout of the menus on the top left. |
| You should have an idea of what information
you need on the site. For example, are there any resources
for lecturers and if so, what are they? Will their be
any resources for students and if so, what are they? |
| Use the word template
to outline your site. Fill in the book details. Author
name(s), Book Title are fairly obvious. The Proposed
URL is the URL printed in the book, the final companion
site URL (http://www.sagepub.co.uk/wearing for example).
The Sage.co.uk URL is the book information page on the
Sage UK website (http://www.sagepub.co.uk/book.aspx?pid=106889
for example). Finally, make a note if the site will require
password protection. |
| Think about the structure of the site
(how you want the information to be displayed/what pages
you will require) and draw up a menu, similar to the ones
used on the top left of the webpage. |
| Once you have you layout, work through
your menu, using the menu items as titles, and put together
all of the text you will require on the site (including
the Home page, Lecturer Resources and Student
Resources pages). |
