Description

VuFind is an open source library search application designed to help library users locate and access the library's physical and digital collections. The application provides a unified search interface that allows users to search across multiple collections at once, including physical books, digital books, articles, databases, and more. Additionally, VuFind provides a range of features that make it easy to browse and search library collections, such as faceted search, full-text searching, and subject-based browsing. It also includes tools for managing user accounts, including circulation, holds, and history tracking. Finally, VuFind integrates with library systems such as ILS, Z39.50, and OAI-PMH, allowing libraries to make their collections available through a unified search portal.
