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:

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.
