Subject: RE: Searching for Odyssey feedback
Dear librarians:
Just to summarize. I have only received a couple of responses but it
appears that mostly everyone prefers Odyssey. Partly because it is free
but also because it is said to be easy to use and it is a speedy way to
request articles. The biggest complaint about Ariel is that it
monopolizes the computer. What is most important to us is that both
systems seem to be very helpful with transmitting articles to faculty
and students. I gathered from the responses that people are moving away
from Ariel to Odyssey. If interested, please see these websites.

PS. There is another system that was suggested to me called Relais
international.
Thanks to everyone for your assistance.

Subject: Searching for Odyssey feedback
Dear Librarians:
Our library is debating whether or not to incorporate Ariel and Odyssey
into New York Law School's document delivery services. Can anyone
provide me with their opinions of the pros and cons of these services
(cost effectiveness etc)? Please respond off list. We appreciate all
responses and I will summarize to anyone who is interested.
Thank you,
