[ILL-L] Ariel and Odyssey

[Carol A. Vaeth]

I for one am not willing to give up Ariel yet.  We do not receive near
as much as before since I prefer to borrow from Odyssey users, but we do
still send a bit.  I keep Ariel as a service to those borrowing
libraries that use it exclusively.  It's better than a fax...

Subject: [ILL-L] Ariel and Odyssey

 

One of our IT people has suggested that we consider dropping  Ariel and
just use Odyssey in ILL along with faxing, PDFs, and mail to cover all
borrowing and lending needs.  Some of our staff think we still send so
much through Ariel that it is essential , and I'm too new at this to
know if this is a idea well worth considering.   I would love to hear
from other ILL people about this idea.  Good idea?  Bad idea?
Impractical idea?  All help appreciated!
