Hi everyone.
I've been asked to post this on the list by Jane Makoff, Head of
Journals Marketing at Sage Publications. It seems a bit of a limited
deal to me, but some members may be interested.

Publications is committed to increasing the dissemination of our
journals and we believe that this unique offer will give libraries the
chance to offer their users access to an extensive range of Sage’s
journals.”
