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.

Subject: [ARIE-L] Ariel alternative?
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.
