The Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) Spitzer Legacy Programs provide a comprehensive picture of the current star formation activity in the Large (SAGE-LMC, Meixner et al. 2006) and Small (SAGE-SMC, Gordon et al. 2009) Magellanic Clouds which is traced by the IRAC (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 microns) and MIPS (24, 70, and 160 microns) bands. It allowed for the first time a global study of star formation in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) at high enough resolution to resolve individual cores and protostars at a range of mid-IR wavelengths. The methods for searching and identifying Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in the MCs will be discussed. These methods involve color-magnitude selections, inspection of the multi-wavelength images, and fitting of the spectral energy distributions of the YSO candidates using the 2D radiative transfer models (Robitaille et al. 2006).
