This database contains traditional teaching cases. Most are short to medium in length and over 70 percent include teaching notes.
If you can't find a teaching case that supports your course learning objectives, try searching for articles written as case studies. Check out the article databases tab on this guide.
Only faculty may access the teaching notes for a case. Access to the teaching notes is not automatic; Follow these steps to gain access:
1) Using your Webster credentials, log in to the Sage Business Cases database.
2) Create your personal My Profile using your Webster University email address. And then,
3) Request that the library give you access to all teaching notes when you are logged in to your Sage profile. Faculty may request access by emailing Mary Anne Erwin, the Business & Management Librarian, or by completing the library's eResources form
4) Library staff will verify that you are a Webster University faculty member and enter the code that allows you to access the teaching notes into your profile. Please allow two (2) business days for the library to complete the process.
Unfortunately, sometimes the teaching notes access code gets erased from faculty profiles. If this happens, please contact us so that the library can reinstate your access. There is no need to create another profile.
To ensure that your students can access the case you wish them to read, you may download the PDF and post it, or a link to it, in your World Classroom / Canvas course page. Distributing the PDF document carries the advantage of keeping students within your class space.
If you decide to link to the case, make sure that the link includes the library's proxy server address. To capture the link from the Sage database itself, click on the title of the case to open the record and click Get Link. Post this link in your course page. (Students may be prompted to log in to access the case.
No matter how you share the case with students, it is a best practice to also include a full citation to the case. From the case record, click the Cite button to generate the citation in one of several citation styles (e.g. APA, MLA, etc.). You may then copy and paste the citation. This practice will also help our research librarians to help students to find the case in the event that the access you planned fails.
