SAGE Full-Text Collections Now Available on SAGE Journals Online 
Platform

Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, and Singapore (February 1, 2007) 
- SAGE Publications is now offering its award-winning SAGE 
Full-Text Collections on SAGE Journals Online, which has been 
recently enhanced with new features and functionality. SAGE is 
pleased to be able to offer our customers this new access option 
for the Collections, allowing for access and administration of 
both the Collections and individual SAGE online journal 
subscriptions on the same platform.

"The opinion of our customers is very important to us at SAGE", 
commented John Shaw, SAGE Director of Publishing Technologies. 
"That's why we made the decision to offer the Collections on our 
SJO platform. However, in order to be as flexible as possible, 
the Collections also will continue to be available on the CSA 
Illumina platform for the customers who prefer to access them 
that way."

"In addition to making all SAGE journal content available on one 
platform, our library and consortia sales team in North America, 
Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, will now be 
responsible for selling the SAGE Full-Text Collections and SAGE's 
other electronic products to the library market," said Tom 
Taylor, SAGE Vice President of Marketing and Sales. "By working 
more directly with our customers, we will be able to better react 
to their changing needs. We have also partnered with EMpact 
Sales, the publisher representation group within the EBSCO 
Information Services Division, who will represent SAGE electronic 
products to library markets in Latin America, the Caribbean, 
Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong."

Important resources for scholars and researchers, the 
award-winning SAGE Full-Text Collections are available in ten 
disciplines, including Education, which was recently included in 
the Choice 2006 Outstanding Academic Titles list. Additional 
subject areas covered are Communication Studies, Criminology, 
Education, Health Sciences, Political Science, Psychology, 
Sociology, Management & Organization Studies, Materials Science, 
and Urban Studies & Planning. The Collections contain 247 
journals, many ISI ranked; 160,000 articles, book reviews, and 
editorials, with all the original graphics; and backfile to 
volume 1, issue 1.
