Edinburgh University also has a document delivery service using Ariel.
We have 7 Send-and-receive licenses and the remaining sites have
receive-only licenses. Most traffic is between sites, but we are also
pushing patron delivery more. Our only restriction is that we do not
provide a service to sites that are within walking distance of each
other, because we suspect the floodgates would open. We are also
currently starting to look at services for distance learners.
At the moment we operate along the same lines as for full ILLs. We
charge £1.00 per article, and of course we need the signature, although
these will be major considerations in any developments
Officially we ask users to direct their requests through their "home"
site. They hand in the signed form there along with their £1.00. The
site retains the signed form and emails the details to the supplying
site which then scans the article either to the site IP address or
directly to the user's email address. However, in practice, if an
individual contacts the supplying site directly with payment and
signature, we are happy to supply directly to them.
Hope this helps

Dear colleagues
At LSE we are currently looking at our internal document delivery
service. We basically scan articles from our own collection to academic
users' desktops.
Could anyone out there who runs a similar service give us some idea of
how you deal with the copyright issue. We are looking at improving how
we deal with this.
Thank you
LSE IDD Team
