Gary Price of the most excellent Virtual Acquisition Shelf and News Desk writes: \”Do you need to know what full-text database a particular journal is located?
If so, give jake a spin. From the site, \”jake is a reference source which
makes finding, managing, and linking online journals and journal articles
easier for students, researchers, and librarians. Jake does this by managing
metadata about online resources with a database union list, title authority
control, and linking tools, as well as making it easy to customize for a
specific library\’s holdings.\” Currently the database holds contents info for
195 databases. Btw, you can also download the complete holdings of a
particular database directly into MARC or delimited text formats. In fact,
most of jake can be modified as it\’s freeware. Btw, for those of you who are
jake regulars the new official url is: jake-.org. Finally, you
can find a beta of an alternative interface to jake from Simon Fraser
University.
