The article discusses an Ariel document delivery project with seven Maine hospital libraries, the University of Massachusetts Medical School Library (UMass), and the New England Regional office of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. Funding was awarded to six network members to purchase equipment or Ariel software. UMass served as a document provider. During the test, libraries received documents from UMass via Ariel or via the Web as a PDF document. This form of document delivery was faster than standard service with better quality of delivered articles. The column describes the project and outlines possible future steps.
本文讨论了一个与缅因州的七家医院图书馆、马萨诸塞大学医学院图书馆（UMass）以及国家医学图书馆网络新英格兰地区办公室合作的Ariel文献传递项目。资金被授予六个网络成员，用于购买设备或Ariel软件。UMass充当文献提供者。在测试期间，图书馆通过Ariel或通过网络以PDF文档的形式从UMass接收文献。这种文献传递形式比标准服务更快，所传递文章的质量也更高。本专栏介绍了该项目，并概述了未来可能采取的步骤。
