SAGE becomes content partner with serials solutions
 
Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore and Washington, DC (August 14,
2008) - 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.
