SAGE Announces Additional Options for Library Consortia
------------------------------------------------------
Thousand Oaks, California, and London, United Kingdom (September 26,
2005) - In response
to research and feedback from the market, including discussions with the
library community,
SAGE is expanding its offerings to consortia customers.
Expanded and Refined Options
-----------------------------
SAGE has expanded and refined its library consortia offerings, providing
more choices for
SAGE journals content. Designed to provide both small and large
consortia with the
content needed to meet each of their individual libraries' needs, SAGE
will now offer all
of the following purchasing options:
* SAGE Premier Collection provides access to the 400+ SAGE journal
titles in
the social sciences, humanities, medicine, engineering, and
physical and life sciences,
with a backfile to 1999 (for consortia wanting access to all of
SAGE's peer-reviewed journals).
The SAGE Premier Collection will be available only on the HighWire
platform.
* SAGE Full-Text Collections, the ten popular discipline-specific
databases, include
backfiles extending up to 57 years. The SAGE Full-Text Collections
are available only on the
CSA Illumina platform.
* SAGE Collections Plus includes all ten SAGE Full-Text Collections
plus the SAGE titles not
included in the Collections (for consortia research libraries
requiring the Collections' deep
backfiles as well as complete SAGE journals offering). SAGE
Collections Plus is a cross-
platform offering with the Full-Text Collections portion available
via CSA Illumina and the
additional SAGE titles on HighWire.
"As the world of online journals continues to evolve," says Blaise
Simqu, President and CEO of SAGE, "we remain firmly committed to
listening to librarians and consortia to ensure our products and
services meet their needs. These changes reflect that commitment."
