["Johns, Valerie" <Valerie.Johns@sagepub.com>]

***Apologies for Cross-Posting***

SAGE, the world's fifth largest journals publisher, announced
today that it has become a Serials Solutions KnowledgeWorks
Certified content partner, thereby ensuring that bibliographic
data relating to SAGE journals and SAGE journal packages are as
accurate and up-to-date as possible in the Serial Solutions
KnowledgeWorks knowledgebase.

Serials Solutions KnowledgeWorks enables librarians to manage
their constantly changing electronic collections and present
reliable access to library patrons. This knowledgebase holds
bibliographic metadata on a vast range of e-resources and is a
primary component of Serials Solutions' 360 e-resource access and
management services.

SAGE delivers fresh data each month to Serials Solutions to
enable KnowledgeWorks to be as up-to-date as possible for the
benefit of SAGE and Serials Solutions' shared library users
globally. Serials Solutions has also provided SAGE with access,
enabling SAGE to verify its metadata is accurately represented in
KnowledgeWorks.

'When publishers participate in the KnowledgeWorks certification
program, librarians can trust that Serials Solutions and their
providers are collaborating to maintain the highest quality
bibliographic data," said Sherrard Ewing, Provider Relations
Specialist at Serials Solutions. "Librarians can ensure users
have access to their valued resources, and will also more quickly
be able to resolve issues, should they occur."

"SAGE has enjoyed an excellent relationship with Serials
Solutions, motivated by a shared desire to make librarians lives
as easy as possible in setting up electronic access to SAGE
subscribed content in their library," said Clive Parry, Sales and
Marketing Director, SAGE. "Our KnowledgeWorks Certification is a
positive step and illustrates how SAGE is addressing the
challenges of the changing online environment."

SAGE and Serials Solutions are members of the KBART (Knowledge
Bases and Related Tools) working group which is a joint
initiative of UKSG and NISO set up to improve the flow of
information in the knowledgebase supply chain. For more
