SAGE is pleased to announce beginning January 1, 2008 it will act as the Hammill Institute on Disabilities’ representative regarding subscriptions, licensing, production, advertising, and online dissemination for their 14 journals in special education.

The Hammill Institute on Disabilities recently acquired the journals from previous publisher, PRO-ED, Inc. The Hammill Institute on Disabilities, a nonprofit corporation, will continue to own, publish, and manage the journals, including selection of editors and determining the overall editorial direction. This new strategic relationship between SAGE and the Hammill Institute on Disabilities significantly increases SAGE's presence in the field of special education and furthers the Hammill Institute on Disabilities’ educational and scientific charitable purposes.

Many of the 14 journals are affiliated with or sponsored by professional associations. The journals and their respective sponsoring associations are:

Subscriptions and Online Access
All of the journals have been added to SAGE’s recently released 2008 journal price list. As of today, institutions can order directly from SAGE or via a subscription agent.

Currently available electronically on Ingenta, beginning in early 2008 all of the titles will be hosted on SAGE Journals Online (SJO), SAGE’s online journal delivery platform. SAGE will also ensure backfile for each title is digitized and hosted in a timely manner. With this improved online availability, users will now be able to access the robust research published in the journals more easily using SJO’s advanced features to search, browse, alert and link scholarly articles.

“Our missions and the educational research we publish make our  strategic relationship with the Hammill Institute ideal,” commented Alison Mudditt, SAGE Executive Vice President.  “We look forward to working with the Institute to offer them superior services and support, as well as to increasing the journals’ online accessibility and usage.”

If your library subscribes to these journals and you have specific questions about the transition of these journals to SAGE, please contact your regional account representative in the SAGE Customer Service Department.

In order to complement their portfolios, SAGE and Maney Publishing have completed an exchange of three of their journals. In this unprecedented agreement, the Maney journals Chronic Illness and Journal of Endotoxin Research have been exchanged for the SAGE journal Comparative American Studies.

SAGE and Maney have reached an agreement that the SAGE journal Comparative American Studies would continue its inclusion in all consortial deals that had been signed for 2007. From the start of 2008, however, it would no longer be included. SAGE has provided Maney with a list of customers who are entitled to access Comparative American Studies.

All orders already sent have been transferred to the correct publisher to ensure that the exchange is seamless to our customers.

Online access to Comparative American Studies is now available on IngentaConnect at www.ingentaconnect.com and all subscribers have been informed of the transfer, including consortial customers entitled to access in 2007.

Online access for Journal of Endotoxin Research is now available on http://ini.sagepub.com.

Online access for Chronic Illness is available on http://chi.sagepub.com.

Please ensure your system is updated accordingly with this information and all orders and inquiries for these journals are sent to the appropriate office.

Forthcoming Books in Healthcare and Medicine

The SAGE Sourcebook of Modern Biomedical Devices: Business Markets in the Global Environment is the first accessible, broadly available source of information that presents and quantifies the commercial success of numerous types of biomedical devices available in the global market.

The Encyclopedia of Cancer and Society is the first multi-volume resource to define the issues that surround cancer and its effects on society. With more than 750 entries, these three volumes help students, practitioners, and researchers navigate through the terminology and concepts to better understand how cancer affects us beyond the medical conditions that are regrettably more than obvious.

SAGE Holds Focus Group at Medical Library Association Annual Meeting

SAGE held a focus group with 11 participating librarians in Philadelphia on May 18, 2007, in conjunction with the Medical Library Association Annual Meeting.

Participants represented health sciences libraries of all sizes, including university medical school libraries, teaching hospital libraries, a government-funded medical center library, pharmaceutical and biotechnology company libraries, and a cancer center.  The meeting was a great success and we thank all of you who participated.

The objectives of this focus group were:

• to hear the librarians’ impressions of SAGE as a publisher of health sciences journals,
• to learn about library procedures for selecting and purchasing new books and journals, and
• to gather suggestions on how SAGE should promote its publications to medical libraries.

We enjoyed the discussions that developed and are grateful to those who participated for their suggestions. We are currently reviewing the overall suggestions of the group, to see how SAGE can incorporate these suggestions into our business practices to ensure that we are fully meeting the needs of our customers who are interested in our product offerings in the health sciences field.
