Re: [VuFind-Tech] McMaster VuFind deployment goes live

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

Congratulations on getting things up and running, and thanks for getting involved in the community -- I look forward to seeing your serials code.

I see that you haven't added McMaster to the VuFind installation list yet:

You might want to do that when you get a chance!

thanks,
Demian

Subject: [VuFind-Tech] McMaster VuFind deployment goes live

Hi all,

At the McMaster University Library we have gone live with VuFind as our
web catalogue interface, it can be accessed at:

http://library.mcmaster.ca/catalogue

While still with issues, it is already a huge improvement over the
previous catalogue web UI and search engine.

The VuFind version is 1.2 with some fixes cherry-picked from trunk. For
the branding we are using the Deliverance[1] theming proxy in front of
VuFind with the stock Blueprint theme.

There are a couple of places where we have custom code, e.g.:

 - Rendering of serials from MARC records (WIP, code will be
   contributed back to VuFind)
 - Multiple config files specified from the web server

We want to thank the VuFind community for putting this great application
together, as well as for all your help and comments that have been very
helpful in this deployment. We look forward to more collaboration and
enhancements working together.
