What is SAGE?
Sage is the UCSD Library’s gateway to the Web. It’s not an acronym: think “sage” for “wise” or “wise person”. See the entry in Roget’s Thesaurus. Sage is a database and search engine for the high quality WWW and other electronic resources that have been selected by UCSD library subject specialists as being valuable for research by students, faculty and staff. It includes websites, electronic journals, electronic books and reports, and databases of all types.
Sage is the name we have given to the software application (a modified version of PeopleSoft’s Student Administration module) providing students, faculty, and staff access to academic and administrative information. (For those who are acronym inclined, sage can stand for Student Administration Gateway.
SAGE (System to Administer Grants Electronically) supports electronic Research Administration (eRA) at the University of Washington for use by faculty, administrators and staff. A common database is shared with SPÆRC – the OSP internal web system. SAGE currently allows users to create and route eGC1 forms for campus and UW approvals. The system supports electronic (e)approval of eGC1, file upload of sponsor documents & internal UW documents, enhanced reports via OSP. In the future it will support electronic submission of grants to sponsors (system-to-system), budget-builder tool and automate the award process. For more information, visit the ORIS website.
