--please pardon x-posts--

jake-0.3.1 is now up and running; you can try it out at:

   http://jake.med.yale.edu/

new features include:

     * article/issuelist retrieval: type in the article
       information and jake will formulate urls when it
       knows how (temporarily only in Yale view... but
       access isn't limited to Yale)

     * many more databases added including Gale Group
       and many Bell&Howell/Proquest titles

     * much faster response times: xsl transformations
       are now run through a java servlet engine

     * all search code, stylesheets, and jake data are now
       available through anonymous cvs and browseable via
       cvsweb. for more info see:
  
          http://jake.med.yale.edu/docs/about.html

what's jake?

jake (Jointly Administered Knowledge Environment) seeks to make
management of and linking between online resources easier for library
patrons and staff. It does so by managing online resource metadata with
a database union list, title authority control, linking tools, and a
local holdings layer.

jake is free to all to use, modify, or redistribute according to the
terms of the GNU General Public License.

  Enjoy,
