Abstract
Hospital library services have to deliver high quality copies of articles from other libraries quickly and inexpensively, especially in clinical emergencies. The Ariel Internet document delivery system is superior to faxing or mailing photocopies, yet relatively few hospital libraries currently use it because of its incompatibility with protective local network firewalls. Some hospital libraries have found a number of different ways to solve the problem and improve their document delivery services.
