Area of Science:

  • Library and Information Science
  • Health Sciences Librarianship
  • Information Technology in Libraries

Background:

  • The Health Sciences Libraries Consortium (HSLC) was founded in 1985, comprising institutions in Pennsylvania and Delaware.
  • Initial interlibrary loan (ILL) services relied on telefacsimile technology, achieving high fill rates but facing cost and network limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate Ariel software as a replacement for telefacsimile in interlibrary loan (ILL) operations.
  • To assess the feasibility of using Ariel software over the existing Health Sciences Libraries Consortium (HSLC) wide-area network (WAN).

Main Methods:

  • A project was initiated in 1991 to compare Ariel software with existing group 3-level telefacsimile technology for ILL.
  • Evaluation focused on Ariel's Internet access capabilities, utilization of the HSLC WAN, and suitability of its hardware platform for ILL.

Main Results:

  • The transition to Ariel software aimed to overcome the expenses and network limitations associated with telefacsimile-based ILL.
  • Key factors for Ariel's adoption included its proprietary Internet access, compatibility with the existing WAN, and efficient hardware.

Conclusions:

  • Ariel software presented a viable and potentially more efficient alternative to telefacsimile for interlibrary loan (ILL) document delivery.
  • The study explored the transition process, equipment evaluation, and policy implications for adopting new ILL technologies.
