SAGE has developed new sales and additional online access options for its award-winning, discipline-specific research databases. Starting January 1, 2007, SAGE will offer its customers a new option for accessing the SAGE Full-Text Collections. Launched in 2003, the 10 discipline-specific SAGE Full-Text Collections have been available exclusively on the CSA Illumina platform. Starting January 1, 2007, SAGE customers will be able to access the SAGE Full-Text Collections on both the CSA Illumina and SAGE Journals Online platforms.

In order to meet our customers needs more fully, starting in 2007 the SAGE library sales force, with Regional Managers around the world, will be responsible for selling the SAGE Full-Text Collections, as well as other SAGE online products. To contact the SAGE sales team, please send an email to librarysales@sagepub.com.

We Share Your Passion – Meet Alison Roth, Library/Sales Consortia Manager

We are pleased to introduce Alison Roth, a recent addition to our U.S. Sales team. Alison brings to SAGE a wealth of experience from her background working both in the serials industry and as a professional librarian.

Alison joined SAGE as the Senior Regional Sales Manager for Library/Consortia Sales for the Northeast Territory in August, 2007. Her responsibilities include selling SAGE’s journal products such as SAGE Premier, SAGE Full-Text Collections, and Backfile to libraries and consortia, working closely with librarians and keeping them informed of SAGE’s digitization efforts.

Prior to joining SAGE, Alison worked as a sales manger for two subscription agents, Swets Information Services—where she was a top academic sales person three years in a row—and The Faxon Company. Alison has a history of involvement since 1995 with the North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG), has served on a number of NASIG committees, and is currently serving on the Board as a Member at Large through 2008.

“I attribute my success in sales to my background in customer service, both as a librarian and at The Faxon Company,” says Alison. “Service is one of the main goals of librarians. When I visit a library, our conversation focuses on the question: “What are your needs for content and how can we best fulfill them for you?”

Alison is also a member of the American Library Association and its ACRL and ALCTS divisions. She has written articles for Serials Review, Library Technical Services, and the Charleston Conference Proceedings and has participated as a speaker and panelist at NASIG, Charleston, and local workshops.

“I’m grateful to SAGE for its interest in having me continue my work for NASIG as we plan for our annual conference in Louisville, KY early next June. One of the reasons NASIG was founded was to encourage conversation among all those in the scholarly information chain—libraries, vendors, and publishers. And I’m glad to continue to be part of this communication, now from the point of view of a publisher.”
