Download and documentation

  • SpineOMatic is a Windows application–developed by Boston College–that works with Alma to print spine labels.

  • The download, as well as documentation, are available here:


Configuring Alma access

  • You configure SpineOMatic to interact with Alma via the Alma Access tab:




Call number prefixes

  • You configure call number prefixes via the Label Prefixes tab:



    • Out of the box, SpineOMatic will base prefixes on the combination of library name and location name.
    • Scan a barcode, the choose the Current XML tab to view the library name and location name needed to configure a prefix:



    • In this example, the library name is Widener Library and WID-LC is the location name.  The prefix we want to add to the label is WID-LC.
    • This would be configured via the Label Prefixes tab as Widener Library+WID-LC=WID-LC:



    • Use a semicolon to split your prefix between lines.  For example, Widener Library+WID-LC Mid East=WID-LC;Mid East will print WID-LC and Mid East on separate lines.  Consult the SpineOMatic documentation for more information on this, and other configuration options.
  • No labels
