I tried looking up the prominent British periodical,
NEW SCIENTIST on jake and it pointed me to an
insignificant journal of the same name but different
ISSN than the prominent title. A

nd jake did not show a listing for the more
significant title at all, not by name.

So I looked up NEW SCIENTIST by it's ISSN number (0262-
4079). And again jake failed me. It pointed me to
FOODWEEK! At that point I determined that jake was
having a nervous breakdown akin to the one written
about in the famous sci-fi librarian short story, "MS
FND IN A LBRY" by Hal Draper (in the short story
collection 17 X INFINITY). If any librarian gets the
chance they have GOT to read that story!
