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

Thanks

We are still keeping Ariel as long as we can.  As a Resource Library for the 
National Library of Medicine, we are obligated to provide services to Hospital 
Libraries, and quite a few of them still using Ariel.

Thank you.

Subject: [ARIE-L] Anybody still depend on Ariel for receiving ILL articles?

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.
