Hello!
Sorry for cross-posting, but I don't have ILLiad, and I need some help/advice.
I have Ariel and Odyssey set up on the same machine. While I prefer Ariel, I will gladly accept documents sent via Odyssey. Whatever is easiest for the lender.
So...how do I go about letting people with both Ariel and Odyssey know I have both and will accept both?
I've just gotten another request filled by an ILLiad library with a request printout that lists my fax number, but has blanks beside the Ariel and the Odyssey fields. Why is that?
I've always had my Electronic Delivery addresses defined and ordered in my constant data records. I picked Ariel first (FTP) and second (e-mail) and Odyssey third, but I had all three there. I can see all three on my OCLC ILL printout.
I've also set up my Ariel constant data record with Ariel and Odyssey addresses in the Ship To: and Ship Via: fields. Today I went in and moved them from the bottom of the Ship To: field to the top:
Ariel:157.182.165.30,PSC_Ariel at mail.wvu.edu/
Odyssey:157.182.165.30/ILL @ MARY F. SHIPPER LIBRARY (PWS)/POTOMAC STATE COLLEGE OF WVU/103 FORT AVENUE/KEYSER, WV 26726-2697
I also changed the Ship Via: field to:
Ariel/Odyssey (157.182.165.30,PSC_Ariel at mail.wvu.edu) or USPS
Is there anything else I can do to make it easier for ILLiad libraries to see that both options are available?
Also, as a borrower, it sure would be nice if the ILLiad printout included the lender's OCLC symbol. For example, if the vertical text "Somewhere University Interlibrary Loan" on the print out and book labels, could have (OCLC symbol) added either after the Library name or at the end of the line, it would be helpful. Is this something ILLiad users could change or is it something OCLC has to change?
Why do I want this? -- Because to save Campus Mail employees time and work (and maybe help my insured ILL packages go out on the same day), I put the lender's OCLC symbol on all return address labels. Then when Campus Mail insures the package, they only have to write the OCLC symbol on the insurance receipt instead of the entire library name and address.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
