Subject: Ulrichs/jake/Serials MasterFile

Hello,

        Has anyone used Serials MasterFile (www.serialsmasterfile.com)?
They sound like a fee version of jake, but with perhaps more
retrospective holdings. They've also got a lot of the nice information
contained in Ulrich's, like title change histories.

        In addition, what's your feeling on sources like Ulrich's (print
or electronic) versus jake versus Journal WebCite or SerialsSolutions,
or now Serials MasterFile? Do you rely on any one source for serials
information, or does each provide only a part of the picture?

Thanks,

Julie
