FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Over 7 Million Users Now Have Access to the SAGE Full-Text Collections

Thousand Oaks, California and London, United Kingdom (June 2005) - The
SAGE Full-Text Collections were launched in 2003 with four collections.
Currently, more than 7 million academics, researchers and professionals in
25 countries can access 10 discipline-specific SAGE Full-Text Collections
via the CSA Illumina platform.

The SAGE Full-Text Collections are now available in the following
disciplines: Communications Studies, Criminology, Education, Management &
Organization Studies, Materials Science, Nursing & Health Sciences,
Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Urban & Planning.

Currently accessible on the desktops of over 7 million users, these
comprehensive full-text databases from SAGE contain more than 220
peer-reviewed journals, many ISI ranked, representing over 80,000
articles, book reviews, and editorials, with all the original graphics and
tables. Through the SAGE Full-Text Collections, users benefit from both
the most current articles as well as a deep backfile; some journals go as
far back as 57 years!

"With the comprehensive content and the powerful CSA Illumina platform,
it's no surprise that millions of researchers are accessing the SAGE
Full-Text Collections," said SAGE Director of Sales, Rob Paulis. "Users
are exploring both the most up-to-date articles and the archives in each

information right at their fingertips."
