“…Ariel literature peaked at the turn of the millennium when the Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Information Supply (now the Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Electronic Reserve) devoted an entire issue to experiences of institutions using the software (Ives, 2000). Around the same time, publications began to examine how Ariel functionality could be enhanced through the use of software such as Prospero (Schnell, 1999;Sayed, Murray, Wheeler, 2001;Weible, Robben, 2002) and DocMorph (Franke-Webb, 2001).…”

The authors examine, based on a survey of users, the electronic document delivery methods currently in place as well as changes in the recent past and future developments. Interlibrary loan and document delivery staff were surveyed from institutions across the United States in order to ascertain what document delivery mechanisms are currently in place, how they are being used, and why. Findings from this study should lead to an increased awareness of electronic delivery options in libraries across the country and elucidate the dynamics involved at individual sites. This, in turn, will assist librarians in making decisions, based not only on their individual circumstances, but on the experience and trends found across a broad sampling of institutions.

“…Prior Health Sciences Library at The Ohio State University Library. Sayed, Murray, and Wheeler (2001) describe how two libraries at the University of South Alabama-the University Library and the Biomedical Library-evaluated several software packages designed to facilitate desktop delivery and both selected the Prospero system. Weible and Robben (2002) describe the successful implementation of Prospero at the Information Resource and Retrieval Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.…”

While trying to access microform content, patrons at the Christopher Center for Library and Information Resources at Valparaiso University were often hampered by unfamiliar equipment, temperamental software, and a puzzling file management system. In an effort to address these problems, the Access Services Department launched a pilot program for the electronic delivery of microform content. It was decided to discontinue the self-service model and design a system in which patrons could request specific items from the microform collection which would then be retrieved and scanned by the staff and made available electronically through the interlibrary loan client. After describing the problems a typical user might encounter with the existing system, the author explains the solution piloted by the library, outlines the policies and procedures, reviews the outcomes, and finally draws attention to the considerable potential of such a service.

The advantages of Web -based document exchange between libraries are just beginning to be systematically explored. This article focuses on general considerations in the development of a Web -based model for electronic document exchange (EDE) in the context of the OpenILL Cooperative's EDEN project. These include an overview of the existing document delivery standard (GEDI) and its relationship to emerging models and a discussion of factors being considered in the development of a Web -based protocol, including document exchange format, application event sequencing, metadata, and security.
