WE use Odyssey, Ariel 3.4 and e-mail, we even fax and mail. Whatever. We will
Ariel until either there are so few that want it or until it dies or becomes
incompatible with ILLIAD. We do have a dedicated computer for it.

Today...I am going to work on setting up a new system (Windows 7) and Ariel
4.1.(1?).
I work in Systems and not ILL so every three years I read up on the virtues of
patience just for this event.
As for alternatives, we use ILLIAD and Odyssey too! I have spoken to our
Resource Sharing manager and all I can get her to say is they will consider
dropping Ariel...next time.
So my question is...are many of you using all three or are you making an either
or choice?
Thank you.

We continue to use Ariel vs. Odyssey standalone because Ariel allows us to post
articles to our web server and automatically notifies the email addressee to
that effect. This allows us to scan articles of large file size without having
to deal with attachment size limits. Certainly Ariel is unsolvably quirky, but
it continues to work acceptably for us. We still use Windows XP and Ariel 3.4.

We've been using Odyssey and ILLiad for several years with
good results. Since the Odyssey component is free, I'm a little puzzled by the
number of libraries still using Ariel, given the lack of vendor support - it
seems like the vendor abandoned it some time ago. The latest hurdle here has
been getting a scanner to work with both Ariel and Windows 7, and I really hate
to pour any more hours into Ariel.

I have been having issues with Ariel for a while, the lasted being that the
send to function is not working. After months of working with IT we just
cannot figure out what is wrong... That and the fact that Ariel has not been
updated in a very long time has lead me to consider alternatives.
What other Ariel-type products are people using and why?
We currently recieve 95% of our requests via Docline and the other 5% via OCLC.
I need to do more research but was initially thinking of pairing Odyssey and
Illiad. Am I headed in the right direction or am I way off base?
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
