The summary of my responses is that RAMBI is more academic, selecting articles from both Jewish and non-Jewish scholarly journals, while The Index to Jewish Periodicals indexes a wider selection of English language general-interest Jewish periodicals. The Index to Jewish Periodicals seems more useful to my patrons (our library is located in a JCC), and I will continue to try to raise the money to subscribe.
