Re: SDIs and Alerts

[David Stern <david.e.stern@yale.edu>]

What is involved in turning them on?
Simply pointing to the Java interface?
Or must we add another element to the logon protocol?

Only the last item is lethal; the Document Delivery feature, which can have
citations automatically forwarded to an email address for ILL processing,
but would require sending the info from all our databases to one email
address.  We must turn off this option.
