The converted files are saved to a directory on the library web server. When a document is processed, an email message is automatically sent to the patron regarding the availability of the document. After being authenticated, a web page is generated that contains a list of the patron's documents. The patron can simply select and download the required document. Documents will be removed automatically from the system after viewing them five times or after 14 days on the system to comply with copyright.
Patrons can also delete documents directly from the web interface.
The Library understands that this new method may not appeal to all patrons. It is important to note that patron equipment and connection issues are significant with this new service. The loading of large PDF files can be slow, especially with a dial-up connection. The patron must have the latest version of the Adobe reader loaded. Printing can be extremely slow on non-laser printers.
