📄️ The Online Document Delivery Service (ODDS)

This service is added in version ABCD 2.0 to facilitate the organisation of a document delivery service for elec- tronic documents. The idea is that end-users, from the link on the ABCD Site (now part of the demo Site), bring in the bibliographical data they know in a form as a request formulation. The form, when submitted, becomes a record in the ODDS database which is attended by a special library officer - librarians, having often better access and knowledge about how to locate electronic documents, identify the documents, put them on a library server and send out - semi-automated - an e-mail to the requesting end-user notifying her/him of the URL of the document and the time-span to download it.
