[ILL-L] Ariel and Odyssey

[Kathy Britt]

We (EMU) are currently doing about 95% Odyssey sending, up from about 
45% a year ago.  Ariel is only 3%, with email (.pdfs) at just under 2%.  
We rarely, if ever, fax anymore.  If we can't Odyssey, Ariel or email, 
then we just put it in the mail, because we have found that when we fax 
we get complaints about quality.
