SAGE Publishing and Booksquare Partner to Lower Barriers for College Students

SAGE Publishing and Booksquare are partnering to provide accessible digital textbooks for higher education students in Sweden. The collaboration will bridge the gap between Swedish students and English textbooks as the demand for English content in universities continues to rise.

The deal will make over 5,000 academic e-books from SAGE available for unlimited reading through Booksquare, an online subscription service for digital textbooks aimed at higher education students in Sweden.

Alexandra Taylor, Head of Digital Sales Partnerships at SAGE, commented: “We are delighted to be taking a positive step forward by partnering with Booksquare, providing students in Sweden with great content and support for their studies.”

“We are proud and grateful to be able to offer content from this world-class publisher. It is a great step forward for Booksquare but also for students looking for an effortless and cost-effective way to acquire their textbooks”, says Simon Hedlund, Co-Founder & CEO at Booksquare.
