SAGE ANNOUNCES JOURNAL BACKFILE DIGITIZATION

Thousand Oaks, CA and London, UK (March 15, 2006) - SAGE
Publications announced today that work has commenced on its
complete journal backfile digitization project. This major
undertaking will ensure that the fullest possible backfile for
more than 400 SAGE journals will be available online to users at
academic, government and corporate institutions worldwide.

SAGE journals span a wide range of subject areas in the
humanities, social sciences and scientific, technical and medical
fields. Currently, SAGE offers deep backfile for selected
journals through the SAGE Full-Text Collections. Once digitized,
the complete SAGE backfile will be available through a range of
flexible purchase and subscription options. Further information
will be announced at a later date.

"We are excited to embark on this project," said Blaise Simqu,
President and CEO of SAGE Publications, Inc. "SAGE is committed
