May 1, 2015 Rapid Rocks! Current RapidR Participants Univ. of Massachusetts, Amherst Colorado State Univ. Texas Tech Univ. Wichita State Univ. Marine Biological Lab/ Woods Hole Exciting News for BScan Users Do you use BSCAN software to fill your Rapid lending requests? If so, we’re excited to tell you that you can send your BSCAN documents directly to RapidX! There is now an option in BSCAN (versions 3.0.3.0 and higher) which bypasses the need for Odyssey or Ariel delivery. Quick and easy to use, the process is similar to uploading files to RapidX using the RapidX page. When Rapid X receives your BSCAN files, they are automatically updated to Filled in the Rapid system and delivered to the borrowing library via their preferred receiving method. This is a great streamlining and time saving function! If you’d like more information about this new BSCAN option, please contact the Rapid team at: RapidStaff@RapidILL.org Northeastern Univ.
