Just going back and clearing out my inbox. I've been using Google Drive as an Ariel replacement. I have folders named for the month. I upload the article to the appropriate month and then choose share and enter the ILL e-mail address. I can type in a short message and the recipient receives a link that allows them to download the item. There is no password. Anyone with the link can download the file, so the borrowing library can simply forward it to their patron. When I want to delete all the uploaded documents. I simply wait till the 15th of the following month and then go in and delete everything. I'm sure there are some possible bugs, but so far I haven't run into any. Linda

We have been trying for awhile to make our Odyssey standalone work without too much success. We have tried opening ports and re-installing, little luck. We have found Article Exchange to work well for us, unless the borrower doesn't use it or know how to use it, then we get resend requests (which is a drag). I'd be interested to know what other people are using as an Ariel replacement. Ours is still working fine and we have no replacement plans yet. Who knows though if everyone quits using it we'll need something else. Patty Chapman Patricia Chapman University of Northern Colorado James A.

I just got off the phone with Infotrieve support. They don't recommend running ARIEL on Windows 7, and they have no plans to upgrade the product. I know about Article Exchange and Odyssey. However, I still like the ARIEL platform. I can scan, I can scan & save, I can send FTP, and I can send via email. Is there another similar product? Odyssey standalone is just not the same. Thanks for listening!
