Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 3, 2004 --- Infotrieve, Inc., announced today that it has released the newest version of Ariel, the most widely used interlibrary loan document transmission system in the world. Ariel 3.4 will provide its users with improved stability as well as new features that will improve interlibrary loan (ILL) management capabilities.
Ariel is used to turn a personal computer and a scanner into a state-of-the-art document transmission station on the Internet. Users are able to send scanned images of electronic documents to other Ariel workstations anywhere in the world, using either file transfer protocol (FTP) or e-mail; and convert them to portable document format (PDF) files for standardized viewing by recipients.
Ariel is the de facto standard for interlibrary loan document transmission," said Infotrieve President and Chief Executive Officer, Wes Crews. We are pleased to offer our more than 9,500 customers this new version with improved interlibrary loan workflow capabilities."
Ariel 3.4 has a number of enhancements, including:
- Patron list categorization option - improves workflow efficiencies: Ariel 3.4 users can now organize their patron lists into user-defined categories, making ILL processes faster and more efficient.
- Document counter -- gives users a tool to track ILL activities: Ariel 3.4 users now have the option to track document transmission activity in their send and receive queues with a password-protected reset option. This provides a new way to report on ILL activity.
- Default port setting -- ensures better firewall protection for all Ariel users: Ariel 3.4s firewall setting now defaults to Ariels own registered port 422 for FTP document transmission, increasing the usage of this port, which translates to better firewall protection for all Ariel users.
Ariel 3.4 upgrades will be free to existing 3.01 and 3.3 users. While Infotrieve will continue to support users of 3.X versions, users of previous versions should register for a paid upgrade to version 3.4. Existing and new users can upgrade and learn more about Ariel 3.4 online at http://www.infotrieve.com/ariel.
