implemented by National Library of Australia.

By using vufind user can search all e-journal and library materials trough one interface. User can

get normal, advance and many facets search facilities by using vufind.

VuFind is a library resource portal designed and developed for libraries by libraries. The goal of

VuFind is to enable your users to search and browse through all of your library's resources by

replacing the traditional OPAC to include:

•Catalog Records

•Locally Cached Journals

•Digital Library Items

•Institutional Repository

•Institutional Bibliography

•Other Library Collections and Resources

VuFind is completely modular so you can implement just the basic system, or all of the

components. And since it's open source, you can modify the modules to best fit your need or you

can add new modules to extend your resource offerings.
