NEW ACCESS OPTIONS FOR AWARD-WINNING SAGE FULL-TEXT COLLECTIONS

Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, and Singapore (November 2006) - 
SAGE Publications has announced it has developed new sales and 
additional online access options for its award winning, 
discipline specific research databases known as the SAGE 
Full-Text Collections. The details of these announcements are 
outlined below.

SAGE Full-Text Collections on Highwire Press (SAGE Journals 
Online) and the CSA Illumina platform:

Starting January 1, 2007, SAGE will now offer its customers a new 
option for accessing the SAGE Full-Text Collections. Launched in 
2003, the 10 discipline-specific SAGE Full-Text Collections have 
been available exclusively on the CSA Illumina platform. Starting 
January 1, 2007, SAGE customers will be able to access the SAGE 
Full-Text Collections on both the CSA Illumina and SAGE Journals 
Online platforms. To further ensure flexibility of access, the 
SAGE Full-Text Collections will remain available on the award 
winning CSA Illumina platform, which provides integrated 
searching and full-text retrieval amongst similar databases. SAGE 
and CSA have made special arrangements for an extended grace 
period for subscriptions due to renew in January 2007.

"Flexibility of access options is important to our library 
customers and users," commented Tom Taylor, SAGE Vice President 
of Marketing and Sales, "thus we have made the SAGE Full-Text 
Collections available on SAGE Journals Online (powered by 
HighWire Press)."

SAGE Sales Team:

In order to meet our customers' needs more fully, starting in 
2007, the SAGE library sales force, with Regional Managers around 
the world, will be responsible for selling the SAGE Full-Text 
Collections, as well as other SAGE online products. To contact 
the SAGE sales team, please e-mail librarysales@sagepub.com.
