VuFinding (Across the Universe)

In September 2010, I was lucky enough to attend the VuFind 2.0 Conference in Villanova, PA, USA in order to present the results of out multi-LMS work. In addition to finally meeting some of the people I owe so much to for help with iFind Discover, I was also able to look at best practice reports from a whole host of institutions from across the USA and Canada and as far afield as Australia. There are some incredibly talented people working on the VuFind project and I am pleased to report that some great developments are planned for VuFind 2.0.

The project is being given direction by Joe Lucia @ Villanova and has some serious developer talent led by Damien Katz.

Details of the conference can be viewed at http://vufind.org/wiki/vufind_2.0_conference and my presentation can be seen here

On October 8, 2010 Joe released VuFind 2.0's Organizational & Software Roadmap which can be viewed at http://vufind.org/docs/roadmap2.pdf
