VuFind: Home
“July 18, 2007 – Villanova University announces VuFind, a next generation library catalog, is now freely available as Open Source software.” Looks very cool. I need to spend more time with it though. Update: I just checked out the demo. This is really nice. It employs excellent faceted search with a clean interface and incorporates first stages of some social tools.(tags: opensource OPAC library2.0 faceted facets)
