Can I use Odyssey Standalone for local document delivery?
Odyssey Standalone is a scanning and delivery application that creates a TIF document and sends it from one workstation to another. Odyssey Standalone does not send documents directly to patrons or post it to a server for retrieval like the full ILLiad system does. When your computer with Odyssey on it receives a document, you can choose to print it, save it, delete it, or convert the TIF document to a PDF. You must then decide how you want to deliver it to your patron. Some locations use their university or office email account to send the TIF or PDF as an email attachment to their patron. Other libraries using Ariels Patron Delivery feature import the document and send it to their patron via email or post it to a Web or FTP server for retrieval by patrons. And other libraries that have Prospero (http://bones.med.ohio-state.edu/prospero/) can mount articles to a server and notify patrons via email to go to a certain URL to pick them up.
