Press Release  For immediate release: 24th October 2001

Free Access to all SAGE Electronic Journals during November and December
2001

SAGE is providing free access to over 250 electronic journals during
November and December. This includes full text files for the 2001
subscription year, as well as back files for 2000 and 1999 (where
available).

"This offer is part of SAGE's on-going commitment to providing electronic
access to the academic community," says SAGE's Marketing Director, Ian
Eastment. "With this two month offer we are aiming to give even more
people the opportunity to try out our full range of electronic journals
before subscribing."

Full details about how to access SAGE's journals for free are available on
SAGE's website: www.sagepub.co.uk/freeaccess. Electronic access is being
provided through the intermediary, ingenta.

Since making their journals available electronically through OCLC
FirstSearch ECO in 1998, SAGE has now reached agreements with six hosting
intermediaries (Ebsco Online, RoweCom Information Quest,
SwetsnetNavigator, ingenta and recently Minerva) ensuring their journals
are easily accessible to the library market through a route of the
library's own choice.

SAGE provides online access to all institutional subscribers as part of
their subscription and access is available for all members of the
subscribing site. The subscription fee includes both permanent electronic
access rights to the volume subscribed and temporary rights to articles
from previous volumes (where available) as long as a current subscription
is maintained . The right for subscribing sites to download articles and
make copies for coursepacks and electronic reserve collections, without
payment of a fee or seeking prior permission, is also included as part of
the institutional subscription price.
