[ILL-L] Getting rid of Ariel, anyone?

[Katherine Brent]

We shut Ariel down at the end of the fall semester.  Initially I missed
wiping one of the places in OCLC that said we used it, but I think I've got
it all cleaned up now, and everything has been going okay.

While we had quite a lot of Ariel usage 4 or 5 years ago when we started
using it, turning on Odyssey dropped its usage to a trickle.  Since we still
take fax and e-mail delivery (and prefer Odyssey when at all possible), it's
working out.

The computer for Ariel no longer has to be left on 24/7, and while the
electricity savings for turning off one computer (except for scanning - it's
still our scanning station) are small, they do add up.
