VuFind

Filed under: Librarianshp, Work — AaronTheLibrarian @ 2:52 pm

Hey all us Voyager Libraries out there, our friends at Villanova’s Falvey Library just GPL’d their code for their PILOT replacement, VuFind.  This looks great to me, though I don’t have access to the required tools and applications from the documentation on any university servers.

  • Apache HTTP Server 2.2 or later
  • PHP 5.1.0 or later
  • MySQL 4.1 or later
  • Java J2SE JDK 1.4 or later
  • YAZ 3.0 or later

Anyone in KLN-land have access to all that, some extra disk space, and a hankering to try a consolidated catalog search with facetted browse functionality?  Anyone with a different ILS want to help extend VuFind to your vendor?  The project is looking for help in this area.

  3. I’ll spawn off a new virtual machine to run linux after our Voyager 6.5.1 upgrade is done and try this interesting looking portal.
