Hirons" <jhir@LOC.GOV> Colleagues, In response to the messages from Susan Sturgeon and Robin Hutchinson, I wanted you to know that CONSER is excited about jake too! As I announced at the Sunday night PCC Participants meeting at ALA, our CONSER A&I Task Force met with Dan Chudnov, the creator of jake, and is currently exploring ways in which to link such a database to CONSER records in OCLC. Having access to both A&I and full text sources through a URL in the CONSER record would make it possible to remove the 510 data and keep this information up-to-date in a much more managable environment. Stay tuned for further developments!

Sturgeon" <ssturgeo@salem.mass.edu> I could be wrong, but got the impression that the jake database could be downloaded and then perhaps customized. Of course, the customized databases would then have to be loaded by hand or, if one knew the software being used, something could be worked out that way. Regardless, what is there represents a lot of work and should be very useful even as is. Another thought - a library perhaps could hot link the databases it subscribes to??? > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: jake -- Susan E.
