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!

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???
