I-SPIE Blog

Hello fellow ISPIE’ers, As the months continue to pass us by (much too quickly), we must begin planning our 2018 I-SPIE conference. As of now, there are only 2 members on the conference planning committee, and no host campus. This is a very fun and enriching experience to be a part of! For every successful conference, there is a committee behind it. So don’t be afraid to sign up! If you would like to join the committee or feel that your campus might want to host it, just let us know! Thanks everyone! Isabel Pina, CNO – isabel.pina@csun.edu Priscilla Ortiz

The flip cards are finally ready! You can download them and find some light instructions on their page This link will take you to an external website in a new tab. under the CSU+ tab. You can start using the flip cards and red bags today! If you want to test out the cards for a bit before printing them on card stock or laminating them go ahead and print them on regular paper. If you have any questions or concerns you can always contact the me through email or Slack!

Hello I-SPIE, While working on generating Flip Card templates we ran into a snag with the barcode. The barcodes provided by Tricor contained a one time use tracking number and we needed to create barcodes without that piece of information. We had the data, but needed a way of generating the barcode itself in Word. So we scoured the internet and found an add-on that promised to do the trick. This gave us a test code, but we still needed to confirm that the code would scan before sinking more time into creating the Flip Cards. Thankfully, I had a

Please vote on they type of label system we should embrace for CSU+.

Thank you everyone who attended the 2017 I-SPIE Conference in San Luis Obispo! This year we had many constructive conversations about Alma, CSU+, and where we want to go in the future. Information, pictures and videos, and new committee membership will be placed on the website in the coming days in this post and on all appropriate pages so people can start on their new ideas and their new committees!

By Dawnelle Ricciardi When we create CSU+ requests in Primo, there is a blue command line that says, Resource Sharing Request that we click to submit the request. Several libraries are changing that to say, Request from CSU Libraries: CSU+ These are instructions to make that change: In Alma, go to

Hello I-SPIE 

Join me in welcoming Marissa Lopez to CFS ILL. She will be in ILL full-time as the lending coordinator. 

Over the last few years, Marissa has been helping us part-time while also working in circulation as the LINK+ coordinator, among other duties. LINK+ was moved to circulation when the library was under construction and has remained there since we’ve moved back into the new building early 2009. 

With the sun setting on LINK+ for the CSUs and other local changes in some services, the decision was made to move CSU+ to ILL. Marissa will be the lead for

We are very excited about the conference coming up in July! Registration is now closed and we are at capacity! People must be excited to learn about Alma because we have slightly exceeded our estimates on the number of people registering for the conference! Based on attendance from past conferences we expected 30-40 participants and we have over 50! 

I know there are people who would like to attend the conference who cannot make the trip. We will be recording, and possibly streaming, as many presentations as possible (some presenters may request not to be recorded.) We encourage people who could

The Annual I-SPIE Conference registration is now open! This year's conference will be held at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on the 19th through 21st of July! The first day of the conference will start in the afternoon and the last day will let out after lunch. We will begin posting materials such as maps and the agenda as they are completed. 

Update 5/12/2017 

Registration is now closed. The deadline to register has passed and a record number of people have registered. See you in San Luis Obispo!!!

Joe Adkins from San Francisco State University came up with a great system to gather CSU statistics for both Borrowing and Lending. This is a fairly fast and simple solution to an otherwise complicated issue. Using the Group Maintenance tool in ILLiad new groups can be made to gather specific statistics in the ILLiad Web Reports.

1. Go to Systems tab in ILLiad ⇒ Click Group Maintenance
2. Click new and give the group a name (Rapid-CSU for example) and save.
3. On the left, click the newly created group name.
4. On the top, search RAPID in lending string and a list of Rapid

When collecting departmental statistics there are many wonderful tools you can use. Many people use the ILLiad web reports, the OCLC online statistics, and the Rapid ILL reports. All of those web reports provide quick and clean reports for almost any situation you will need, but ILLiad has another tool for complex or unique statistics reports. The ILLiad Custom Request Search allows you to create custom reports from scratch. I needed to find out how many requests Cal Poly borrowed from, and loaned to, other CSU libraries. To get a complete picture I decided to use the Custom Request Search
