1. SAGE Journals Available on CSA and High Wire
The CDL is pleased to announce that after three years of active negotiation the UC community finally has access to the award-winning SAGE journals. Until recently, SAGE was not willing to license to consortia.
Sage journals cover a diverse range of subject areas including aging and gerontology, area and ethnic studies, cultural studies, counseling, geography, political science, sociology, research methods, arts, communication studies, materials science, engineering, theology, economics, criminology, and health sciences across the disciplines of social sciences, area and ethnic studies, humanities, and life sciences.
More than 220 of the journals are available on CSA in 10 subject-based Full-Text Collections, which provide access to backfiles as far back as 36 years. Sage Full Text Collections include Communication Studies, Criminology, Education, Management & Organization Studies, Materials Science, Nursing & Health, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Urban Studies & Planning.
The CSA full text collections include more than 80,000 articles, book reviews, and editorials, with all the original graphics, tables, and page numbers.
The Sage Full-Text Collections are integrated into CSA’s Illumina interface, which allows users to search across all of the Sage full-text content and citations as well as the CSA abstract indexes such as Communication Abstracts, ERIC, PAIS International, PsycInfo, Sociological Abstracts, and Worldwide Political Science Abstracts.
An additional 140 titles in social sciences, humanities, and life sciences not included in the CSA collections are available on Highwire as SAGE Journals Online (PLUS titles). A total of 343 Sage journals from 1999 to date are available on Highwire. The SAGE license also includes all new titles published during the three-year contract period, a shared print archive beginning with January 2005 issues and perpetual rights beginning in 1999 and continuing forward.
2. UC Image Service News: Amico changes
The Art Museum Image Consortium (AMICO) has dissolved as an organization. Our AMICO collection vendor, Cartography Associates has negotiated with the contributing museums to continue to make available most of the original museum collections. The name of the collection will change from AMICO to Art Museum Images from Cartography Associates (AMICA) on July 1, 2005. This is now a Tier 2 for UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside and UC Santa Barbara. The campuses that have licensed ARTstor are no longer participating (UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego and UC Santa Cruz) and UC San Francisco is no longer included.

3. New Resource Available
a. Springer Online Journal Archive
By Terry Vrable (UC San Diego), Acquisitions Coordinator, CDL
The former Springer-Verlag and Kluwer Academic Publishers are now combined in a single license under the Springer name. Newly available in 2005 is the Springer Online Journal Archive. Purchased by the CDL and funded in full with CDL funds, the archive contains subject collections. Included are the former Springer-Verlag and Kluwer journals in the areas of Behavioral Sciences, Biomedical and Life Sciences, Business and Economics, Chemistry and Materials Science, Computer Science, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Engineering, Humanities, Social Sciences and Law, Mathematics, Medicine, Physics and Astronomy. Each packaged collection will contain 50-180 journals. The archive, when completed, is estimated to contain 1,200 journals with coverage spanning from volume 1 up through 1996. The archive also includes some of the Springer Book Series.
Archive content is scheduled to be available in 2005 with the complete set of archived subject areas to be ready by the end of the year. Most journals now offer two entries on their homepage, one for volumes published from 1997 to 2005, and one for the “Historical Archive.” Journal pages are scheduled to be redesigned later this year to provide more information and allow more intuitive navigation through the complete content of each journal.
