NOTE: From 01/01/2022 - 05/31/2023, Purdue Global will be in an evaluation period with SAGE Video, with all videos made accessible to all users. After the evaluation period is over, the most-used videos will be kept permanently, which we estimate to be around the top 400. If you are a faculty member and select a SAGE video for use in your course, please contact the PG Library and let us know so we can guarantee its inclusion after the evaluation period is over.
