Hello....

If you visit our home page (http://www.epnet.com) and click on the EXCEL
version of any title list, you can then sort the list by publisher.  This
will tell you exactly how many (and which) titles (Sage) this will affect in
each database that you currently subscribe to.

As for titles that will be added, we are in the process of compiling these.
Many are contracted for inclusion, but have not yet been assigned to
specific databases.  We want to be sure that only appropriate, quality
sources are included in the proper databases.  The best way to gather this
information regularly is to visit our home page, and more specifically, our
title change report.  The July title change report will be posted in August,
and this will include some of the newly added titles that are deemed
replacement for the Sage titles.  For this list, go to:
http://www.epnet.com/titlelists.asp -- If you scroll to the bottom of this
page, click on Title Change Reports...you will be prompted for a User ID and
PW.  Please use:  ebsco and ipswich respectively.  Again, please visit this
list in August for titles added this month....and visit regularly
thereafter.

I also hope to send more regular announcements to our listserv to keep
everyone abreast of content enhancements.  We tend to only send negative
information to the group (which is rare, as I'm sure you know), and as a
result many folks don't realize the vast amount of new titles added to our
databases on a monthly basis.

I hope this helps.  Should you need further assistance, please call on me.

Kind Regards,
Scott

Thank you for informing us of this development. Can you send us a list of
titles that will be affected as well as a list of what you will get to
replace them with?

Sage Titles to Be Replaced in EBSCO Databases

We have been informed by Sage that they have decided to withdraw their
content from aggregated full text databases.  Sage is a publisher of
scholarly journals.  These journals will be replaced by full text journals
of appropriate quality.  Most Academic Search Elite replacements will take
place in the near future and prior to the Fall (to avoid turmoil during one
of the key parts of the academic year).  Academic Search Premier, Business
Source Elite, and Business Source Premier replacements will occur as we are
able to license appropriate substitutes.  All of the Sage journals in
databases have had full-year embargo periods at the request of the
publisher.  They will be replaced by journals with the same length of
embargo or by journals with a shorter embargo (and in some cases, no
embargo).  In addition, some of the journal replacements will include a
significant backfile of data.  For example, both Duke University Press and
Marcel Dekker (two prestigious academic publishers) have just signed a
license with EBSCO to provide full text access to many of their journals via
EBSCO databases.  Duke has given EBSCO permission to include very long-runs
of some of their journals in PDF.  Other exciting new publisher agreements
will be announced shortly.  EBSCO is in the process of evaluating which Sage
journals we will continue to index and abstract.  We will make an
announcement about this as soon as possible.
