We are also keeping Ariel as long as we can. We also use Article Exchange and Odyssey.

We are still keeping Ariel as long as we can.

Arie-L members: At the Library of Congress, we have always made an effort to accommodate as many different platforms for electronic document delivery as feasible. However, there comes a time when we must evaluate that feasibility. Ariel Interlibrary Loan software is the case in point now. We would like to request that members of this list who still rely on Ariel for receipt of ILL articles, or other surrogate documents, please speak up! We are well aware of the diminished user base for Ariel, vs. Odyssey, Article Exchange, or any other means of transmitting electronic documents (like PDF email attachments). Our question, then, is whether, with our own restrictive budgetary guidelines, we have to make special arrangements to support Ariel in a Windows XP environment, after the rest of the institution has migrated to Windows 7? As you know, Microsoft's Windows XP drop-dead date is April, 2014. Continued support for Ariel after that time may not be possible. Should we "pull the plug" sooner? Please respond. Awaiting discussion on this list. Thank you for your participation.
