  Hi Daniel : did you ever get a volunteer to try to gather the
  LCSH headings for Jake? I did a bit of poking around in ZetaPerl and
  discovered that it isn't able to deliver MARC in transmission format
  (the 'long line' of data that MARC.pm understands). However, it
  shouldn't be too difficult to grab the LCSH terms using Zeta by itself.
  If you can supply me with a list of ISSNs I can give it a try... //Ed
  

Yes, a few folks stepped up and one of them has been going down the
Zeta+MARC road (but he's on this list... sorry for the uninformed
suggestion, all :( ).  If you (or anyone else) wants to give this a try,
or just wants to see more of what's in jake, details for getting journal
title lists are available in a message from the jake-devel-list archives
here:

http://vectra.med.yale.edu/pipermail/jake-devel-list/2000-February/000173.html


...what that message doesn't say is that the output format from the url
listed there will look like this:

jakeid~title~issn
1~Publishers Weekly~0000-0019 
2~AARN Newsletter~0001-0197
3~Communications of the ACM~0001-0782 
4~Bulletin of the Association of Departments of English~0001-0898
5~Revista Adm~0001-0944 
6~AEU-Archiv fur Elektronik und Ubertragungstechnik-Electronics & Communication~0001-1096 
...


...and also that there are roughly 22,000 of these x-ref'd journals
currently in jake (there will be 100,000s eventually).


  Much thanks,
