If you still have the mystery Ariel file stored, you can determine what institution sent the file with a little investigating:
1) Check the IP address in the Ariel file 2) Use a reverse IP lookup tool (e.g. https://www.arin.net/ has a "Search WHOIS" box in the upper right corner), which will tell what institution that IP address goes to. 3) Use the information from the IP lookup and the OCLC policy directory ( https://illpolicies.oclc.org/ipd/NewSearch.do?start=standard ) and used the Advanced Search. 4) You can verify a likely match by comparing the IP address from the Unit -> Information section. Or for the quick attempt, you can try using Google and searching for the IP address + Ariel. This may not work if their sending and receiving addresses are different, or if they don't publicly post their IP address. Graham Fredrick Information and Technical Assistant Walter E.

The second mystery document was sent without any identifying paperwork of the request, which is why I asked my staff to post it to the list. Believe me, if we knew the lender or borrower, we wouldn't be posting to the list. Yes, I agree it should be standard procedure to send the original request as a cover sheet to any document. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
