      We use VuFind as our library catalogue and discovery interface at SOAS and think it's great. Super customisable for our unique users and collections.

        #OpenRepo2019 R provides an interface between Apache Solr and the Shiny UI allowing for visualisation of the data from Solr (/ VuFind) in the R-Shiny web application.

          #OpenRepo2019 I wonder how easy it would be to link R-Shiny with a version of VuFind focused on bibliographic Marc records (i.e. linked with SolrMarc) rather than, say, Dublin Core records. Potentially very useful for statistical analysis of library collections.
