摘要：

The VuFind open source, next-generation catalog system was implemented by the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois as an alternative to the Web Voyage OPAC system. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign began offering VuFind alongside Web Voyage in 2009 as an experiment in next generation catalogs. Using a faceted search discovery interface, it offered numerous improvements to the UIUC catalog and focused on limiting results after searching rather than limiting searches up front. Library users have praised VuFind for its Web 2.0 feel and features. However, there are issues, particularly with catalog data.
