VuFind

VuFind is a library resource portal designed and developed for libraries by libraries. VuFind's goal is to enable users to effortlessly search and browse through all of your library's electronic resources.

VuFind is modular so you can implement just the basic system, or all of the components. VuFind runs on Solr Energy, Apache Solr, an open source search engine. VuFind uses popular open source web application components, including the Apache web server, PHP scripting language and MySQL database.
