intended to meet the needs of Stanford staff, but are open
to everyone, including faculty and students. No registration
is required – come by and learn something new! Bring
your lunch! Bring your questions! Drinks
and cookies provided.
Summer Tech Express sessions will be held Thursdays in Pigott
Hall (Building 260, Room 113). Building 260, also called
the Language Corner, is in the southeast corner of the
Main quad, kitty-corner from the Clock Tower
The success of these sessions depends on you! Questions
from attendees are strongly encouraged. Topics are announced
in advance through the techexpress mailing
list and on this web page.

Introducing
iSpace 
Come to this talk to learn about iSpace,
Stanford's official System of Record for space at Stanford
University (replacing SUFED and MedSUFED). The primary
function of iSpace is to provide space inventory information
for the usage of University facilities. It is used
for a variety of purposes, including indirect cost
analysis, facilities planning, and departmental tracking
of space use. iSpace contains records from the official
University and Medical Center Space Inventories. PowerPoint
presentation is available here. |
