NorCal IUG 2019: Proposal Submissions by September 23rd.

Hello everyone,
 
The 2019 Northern California Innovative Users Group (NorCal IUG) Conference will be held at Santa Clara City Library on Friday, November 1, 2019. We need your participation!


We would like to invite you to submit a proposal for a 15-minute lightning talk presentation, Birds of a Feather, or a poster session. The topics should be beneficial to any type of library (academic, public, special) that uses products provided by Innovative Interfaces, Inc.

Suggestion for topics:

  • Tips and best practices for hardware and software migration
  • Implementation of new features, products, and services
  • Locally developed solutions that are integrated with the ILS
  • Data manipulation and integration with non-ILS data
  • API, SQL query for workflow automation
  • And any other topics that might be of interest to the NorCal IUG group

Please fill out the form at https://forms.gle/CacSyukKnKQgH5ay9 to submit proposals by September 23. Presenters will be confirmed before the registration opens on September 30. We thank you in advance for considering submitting program proposals.

For this year’s program, there will be concurrent sessions where we are hoping to provide III support staff participation for short “clinic” appointments to answer specific questions pertaining to your library, including deep drives into any open tickets. Once the exact III staff support availability is confirmed, a Google form will be sent to registrants for scheduling appointments.

After the program is finalized, registration will open shortly for about two weeks. Stay tuned for the updates or check the update on the NorCal IUG Blog site.

Abstracts

Wrangling Renewals: Getting Your Print Subscriptions Under Control / CJ McCort and Sarah Frieldsmith, Sacramento Public Library

Do you have centralized magazine purchasing for multiple locations with differing subscriptions? Do you need to produce selection lists? Make reports on expenditures? Update annual budgets? All at the click of a mouse? Come see how you can leverage Microsoft Access to get it all under control. Also includes optional loading of order and check-in records. Sample database provided.

CJ McCort is the Acquisitions and Collection Development Supervisor for the Sacramento Public Library; Sarah Frieldsmith is the Integrated Library Systems Supervisor for Sacramento Public Library.

Why should I become a Link+ member? LINK+ Update and Operations Overview / Katie Carter, Santa Clara City Library

Are you looking for a way to streamline your interlibrary loan process while still providing your patrons with access to a wide range of materials? LINK+ provides your patrons with a convenient and easy way to request materials from over 60 public and academic libraries in California and Nevada. Find out about the benefits of becoming a member during this LINK+ update and operations overview.

Katie Carter is a Senior Library Assistant with the Santa Clara City Library. She has served as the chair of the LINK+ Operations Steering Committee since 2016.

Statistics with Decision Center / Dan McMahon, MARINet Administrator, Marin County Free Library

MARINet has used Decision Center (and before that Encore Reporter) for over 7 years. We use Decision Center both for routine circulation statistics, and for answering more detailed queries about the effect of policy changes, or for being aware of general trends. Typical statistics we pull from Decision Center include:

  • How much are our self checks used?
  • What is the most popular item requested at each library?
  • How busy is each library by hour, each day of the week? (Impact on staffing.)
  • How much material moves between locations within the consortium each year?

I will quickly outline how we do each of these searches, and show the results.
