OhioLINK gains access to the SAGE Full-Text Collections

Thousand Oaks, California, June 16, 2004 - SAGE Publications and OhioLINK
announced that they have reached an agreement giving OhioLINK members
online access to all six of the current SAGE Full-Text Collections - the
powerful, discipline-specific, full-text research databases developed by
SAGE and CSA (Cambridge Scientific Abstracts) . The SAGE Full-Text
Collections enable researchers and students to search and retrieve the
full text of peer-reviewed, high impact journals published by SAGE
Publications and participating societies.  
<http://www.sagefulltext.com/>).  Through this agreement, OhioLINK also
provides their patrons with up to 22 years of back issues containing fully
searchable journal articles.

"We are pleased to provide the 85 libraries and institutional members of
OhioLINK with access to the SAGE Full-Text Collections," said Blaise
Simqu, Executive Vice President at SAGE Publications.  "Students,
lecturers, researchers, and librarians at subscribing institutions have
given a tremendous welcome to the SAGE Full-Text Collections, as shown by
their usage trends.  We are pleased that OhioLINK students and faculty
will be able to benefit from these premier social science research tools
in Communications, Criminology, Education, Politics and International
Relations, Psychology and Sociology."

Ohio's college and university libraries and the State Library of Ohio.
