[ILL-L] Ariel changing documents to GDIs

[joseph augustin]

Hi,
     one way to get around this is to select "Scan and Save," instead of
"Scan and Send," from the Scan screen. The documents you scan will then be
saved to you Archive. From there, you can send them to libraries' email
address, by adding them as new patrons (much like the way you deliver to
your own patrons from the Receive Queue). Edit patron information and select
the boxes that say, "always send via email," and "always send PDF." I use
the library's OCLC symbol as the Patron Name.

Is this helpful?

Thanks,
     ~Joe
