I wouldn't give up my Odyssey as a borrower or a lender as it allows the articles to be delivered to my patrons unmitigated which saves me time and also means they can receive them at 7 am when the east coast is in full production and we aren't in the office yet, midnight from Japan or on the weekends from anyone who has student workers scanning away (like we do). It is not dependent on having someone here in the office. I hate all the extra steps to receive an AE personally, even though it is better than sending attachments via email... now that we have figured out how to pull the online articles through Odyssey, I feel it provides better customer service to Odyssey Borrowers as well.

Hello! I've upgraded computers and with it comes the edict from OIT that I can't have server software on a desktop computer. So...as Ariel is slowly dying, and Odyssey is server based, I was wondering how Ariel and Odyssey libraries felt about being asked to supply articles via AE. I hate to scrap all these possible lenders when they can scan simply use either Ariel or Odyssey to scan the documents and deliver them to me as e-mail or as a file on a server by treating me as a patron instead of a borrowing library (I used to do this for non-Ariel & non-Odyssey libraries). Should I delete Ariel or Odyssey from my custom holdings groups? BTW, I can and WILL still lend to all Ariel and Oyssey members. I will simply use AE.
