VuFind
Library discovery portal for searching collections
About VuFind
VuFind is a library resource portal that lets patrons search catalogs, journals, and digital collections through one discovery interface. Because it is self-hosted, you decide where the data lives, who can access it, and how long it is kept, with no per-seat lock-in. Users who outgrow a hosted free tier often choose it to remove limits while keeping the same familiar workflow they already know.
