great work,

can you tell me , what about Aleph Driver working?
are you do some test or work with that conf? VuFind+Aleph¿?

thanks you,
greetings from Latin America.

These directions are a bit stale…check out http://vufind.org/wiki/re-indexing to see how to create the index.

Thanks for this excellent post regarding vufind and ubuntu! I was browsing around and came across vufind, perfect timing as I just became the new Electronic Resources Librarian and one of my top tasks is to modernize our web catalog.

We also use sirsi dynix, but I am having problems with the specific steps of exporting the data from sirsi in a format that can be used to import into vufind. Could you point me to some instructions that might assist me, or give me some guidance on how to do this?

Once again, thanks for sharing this excellent resource!

If you’re using Voyager, there’s already a driver written to connect to your database. All you need to do is change the driver in the vufind/web/conf/config.ini file from Sample to Voyager.

As for exporting your holdings, we’re a Sirsi site, so I can’t help you out too much there. But, there are a lot of folks on the Vufind lists that use Voyager who could help you out there.

Thank you for your respon. I’m still newbie in database. Is there any software that can convert from our oracle field to marc format? or maybe tutorial how to do it?

after I convert oracle to marc, is it possible I don’t use oracle again? how about book covers? where I must put this?

About voyager driver? I look at google, I still can’t find this.

After I finish my ubuntu server, and download all VuFind resources, I will sure join that list.

The indexing requires actual marc formatted records, so you’ll need to export your holdings from Oracle into the marc format. After you get that, you can run the indexing and then connect Vufind to your Oracle back end. Depending on the actual backend, you may need to write your own driver, but it shouldn’t be too difficult (just look at the Voyager driver).

Also, I encourage you to join the Vufind lists…there are a lot of folks there that get answers out pretty quickly. (http://vufind.org/support.php)

Very good tutorial. I think It’s better read the vufind tutorial here…

I already have a website for library, but I still don’t have a web-OPAC. Right now I like to try VuFind. But the problem is, that our library use Oracle for the database. I look at your tutorial, there was a marc converter.

Is it always using marc? is it possible we use our database and then integrate with VuFind? Or maybe, we must export our database to marc format?

Please, you can help me.

Thank you
