What you're doing with Ariel could easily be replaced with a third party site. Ariel is just The Fax Machine Of The Darned Librarians. You wait all day for Inter Library Loans to come out of the Fax Machine Of The Darned. There's no reason why this could not be handled (from a functional, not legal) standpoint by making it a Library Of Congress shared document center, or even e-mailed requests through Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, etc. Then local mail server limits can be ignored. Our Mad Scientist Exchange administrator is thinking of limiting us to 2048 bytes each. Yes, bytes, singular. OK. That was a slight exaggeration. But with average file sizes going up, and the mail system being the default filing-system-of-record, ordinary staff are getting throttled back to trivial box sizes. Something has to give.

If its a large file, we'll use Adobe Acrobat to reduce the file size before sending. On a side note, I've asked staff to make sure that the borrower's email address is not a personal email address, in case that person is not in the office. We'll only send to obvious department wide email addresses.

I was wondering if libraries who use ariel are also sending and receving e-mail .pdf files and if this is becoming more common. Thanks, Rick Jones Circulation Supervisor E. M.
