[Web4lib] Jake?

[Michael McCulley]

Nancy,

While not the same JAKE, you can search CUFTS for some of the information
you are seeking.
http://lib-cufts.lib.sfu.ca/CUFTS/sbt.cgi
and http://cufts.lib.sfu.ca/tools.shtml

Notice the database comparison feature.. under the Tools link.

Ross's notes from a while back [
http://dilettantes.code4lib.org/2005/04/12/jake-cufts-studies-in-social-frus
tration/ ] indicated CUFTS was going to be a paid service, but I'm not sure
why it is so far still "free," and hosted at Simon Frasier University. Thank
our lucky stars..

Best,
DrWeb
