History: Turn of 21st Century

• In medical libraries using Ariel, Ariel loaners get bumped up in DOCLINE routing cells (bi-laterally, often)

• Payment systems for borrowing (to lender) or copyright (to CCC) being tied in

• Lending relationships develop along existing RML-style regional paths, but also less conventional (it’s a free market!) if the tool and payment stacks match

• Majority of loans and borrows coming/going over Ariel+Prospero: many requests delivered within a day
