I was at a session at ALA in which someone from JAKE spoke.  There was a 
question on its currency, and it turns out that JAKE is behind almost 
a year on its tracking.  So just an FYI--JAKE is a wonderful web site, 
but this is an important caveat.

You may want to look at JAKE. 

"Jake (Jointly Administered Knowledge Environment) is a reference source 
which makes finding, managing, and linking
online journals and journal articles easier for students, researchers, 
and librarians. Jake does this by managing online
resource metadata with a database union list, title authority control, 
and linking tools, as well as making it easy to add a local holdings 
layer. jake is free for anyone to use, modify, copy, or redistribute 
under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)."
