[ILL-L] Ariel versus E-Mail

[Koveleskie, Judith]

We only began sending copies electronically last year, so we went
directly to e-mail with attached PDF files.  I have had no problems with
this method and didn't even consider using ARIEL.

Subject: [ILL-L] Ariel versus E-Mail

 

At our library, we're seeing a shift from heavy usage of Ariel to
e-mailed PDFs, both sending and receiving.   In fact, due to the very
slow functioning of our Ariel scanner, all outgoing items are being sent
by e-mail.  (With a copyright cover letter, but without the cover page
indicating the patron, since e-mail isn't secure.) 

 

Additionally, we find that we need to re-situate our Ariel system and
wonder if it's worth the cost to do so.  Our IT people say that the
future is web-based and perhaps Ariel may not be as effective as it once
was.

 

Our library director is curious what other libraries are doing in this
regard, and we were unable to find anything in the archives that
addressed the issue.  Hence, this e-mail...
