University of Sussex benefits from SWWHEP LIS Expertise

Luke O'Sullivan (SWWHEP Library Systems Officer) is currently helping Anirban Basu at the University of Sussex to install and configure vuFind with the Talis Alto Jangle driver he is currently developing.

"It's great to have another Talis installation on board as hopefully I'll be able to refine the driver even more, get more testing feedback and take advantage of someone else's skills!.

If you're lucky, one of the benefits of Open Source projects will be your user community. Working with VuFind, I have benefitted greatly from advice from the community when attempting to make improvements to iFind Discover. In the meantime, I have also improved my own skills. A case in point - the addtion of an Or Filter to the basic search page. I sent a message to the community, I almost instantly had two interested parties and between us, by firing off ideas and sharing code, we came up with a solution in 20 minues!"
