Abstract
VuFind is an open source next generation catalog interface developed by Villanova University. The Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) has implemented a customized version of VuFind to overlay their current Voyager catalog. The University of Illlinois at Urbana-Champaign is a CARLI member library. This presentation will cover the basics of VuFind and how Carli implemented it. We will then talk about its implementation specific to UIUC, including the product rollout, staff training, and publicity. Finally, we will discuss usability testing related to the VuFind installation and the future of next generation catalogs at UIUC.
