Actually, journal title abbreviations are very easy to find except when
the journal never had an ISSN number and was never cited often enough with
a particular abbreviation to make it into anybody's database.

Published bibliographies are becoming less and less useful as more and
more citations are being listed online. Certainly, I wouldn't worry about
using abbreviations in ongoing work, since practically all new citations
are listed online. It's still a good idea to use the most current
abbreviation for a journal if there is one, though.
