Don't many of the publishing licenses forbid e-mailing of PDFs? Denise Westphal Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine Library Public Services - ILL (225) 578-9797

I have all the same reservations about continuing to rely on Ariel that others have already expressed -- it does not seem like a product that will be developed any further. I also know that our IT department is less than happy with the FTP arrangements necessary to make Ariel work. But we still run into issues within our own network when it comes to emailing large attachments, so I have been reluctant to scrap Ariel for the present. -- Blake Walter Dean of Academic Administration Director, Brimson Grow Library Northern Seminary 680 E Butterfield Rd, Lombard, IL 60148 (Voice) 630-620-2115; (Fax) 630-620-2170 bwal...@seminary.edu -----Original Message----- From: arie-l-boun...@mailman2.u.washington.edu [mailto:arie-l-boun...@mailman2.u.washington.edu] On Behalf Of Melissa Jackson Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 7:29 AM To: Discussion of the Ariel Document Transmission System Subject: [ARIE-L] RE: Ariel & Odyssey We're in the same situation as Andrew, for the same reasons. We're primarily using Odyssey and email now, but have hung on to Ariel for a few libraries that can't receive articles electronically any other way. I admit I'd like to dump it, but probably won't for a while longer. We're currently testing YouSendIt for sending articles, and if that works well enough Ariel's days are numbered.

Mostly because Infotrieve really doesn't seem to care about supporting it, providing support for it, or providing good customer service some days. They haven't released any updates that I'm aware of in at least 5 years and there are always questions of whether or not it will run on Windows 7. And Windows 8 isn't that far away which makes me wonder if it will run on that. ________________________________________ From: arie-l-boun...@mailman2.u.washington.edu [arie-l-boun...@mailman2.u.washington.edu] On Behalf Of Luisa Cywinski [luisa.cywin...@villanova.edu] Sent: Friday, May 27, 2011 5:36 PM To: Discussion of the Ariel Document Transmission System Subject: [ARIE-L] Ariel & Odyssey Hi all, It seems like a lot of libraries are no longer using Ariel. What has everyone switched to instead? This is just an informal poll. We're trying to kick start our Odyssey again after having trouble with it a couple of years ago when we installed a Bookeye scanner with BSCAN. Thanks for any details you can share.
