Meet VuFind®!
VuFind® is a discovery system designed and developed for libraries by libraries. It is also flexible enough
to build search interfaces for all kinds of content beyond the library environment. The goal of VuFind® is
to enable your users to search and browse through all of your resources in a single consistent and user-friendly
interface. Content could include:
Catalog records
Institutional repository content
Open access journal articles
Digitized library materials
Websites
Items available for interlibrary loan
Licensed content (where supported by providers)
Other collections and resources — just add metadata!
VuFind® is completely modular and includes tools to support a wide range of use cases, from a basic Library
catalog search to a sophisticated dashboard of data from many sources. It supports building a local
index and/or integrating with a variety of existing third-party services. Since it's
open source
, you can modify or add modules to best fit your needs.
A wide range of configurable options allow extensive customization without changing any code. An active and
friendly international
community
and a variety of
commercial service providers
mean that you can get
support when you need it.
100% Open Source.
