SAGE ANNOUNCES NEW URLS FOR SAGE JOURNALS ONLINE

Thousand Oaks, California and London, United Kingdom (August 10, 2004) -
SAGE Publications has recently announced the launch of SAGE Journals
Online, SAGE's new electronic journal delivery platform developed by
Stanford's HighWire Press.  SAGE Journals Online will go live September,
2004. The platform will host SAGE journals in both the social sciences and
STM disciplines, providing institutions with premier search technology,
toll-free linking features, a social science specific taxonomy, and
enhanced subscription options for their journal collections.

As part of the new platform, all existing URLs for SAGE journals are
changing.  Though SAGE will continue to provide full-text content via
Ingenta for the remainder of 2004 re-directs from the existing URLs will
not be possible.  Therefore, you will need to update your systems and
catalogues to reflect the new platform URLs.

SAGE recognizes the time and effort required to facilitate this change,
and we have made every attempt to provide all necessary information in an
easy downloadable format. To update your URLs, please follow these simple
steps:

1)      Open an Internet browser
2)      Log on to
	http://www.sagepublications.com/2005subscriptioninfo.htm
3)      Click on the link for 'New URLs'.

This page provides a table with all the necessary information that can be
downloaded in a text format.

To ensure your patrons are directed to the new platform, please complete
this process for the September 1, 2004 launch of the SAGE Journals Online.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Michael Rafter
(michael.rafter@sagepub.com) at your earliest convenience.
