I have used SPIN for many years and find it very helpful.  We have
subscribed to have it available for our campus through our gopher
system.  We now save a lot of time by faculty being able to conduct their
own system through the SPIN gopher.  Long ago I previewed IRIS and was
not as satisfied with it.  The SPIN information is in a much better format.
