Today, on the VuFind community meeting in Freiburg, Germany, we had a Joint Online Session with the VuFind Summit in Philadelphia, PA, USA. At this Joint Online Session some german libraries presented local developments, which might be interesting for others in the community, but have not got it into VuFind’s master yet. Our contribution was about the resultlist of our VuFind instance tub.find. For each record we show only the “best” option to get an item from it. In this presentation we showed, how our resultlist looks like and how we try to identify the best option for the user.

Last year the University Leipzig in Germany started successfully the first user meeting of german-speaking VuFind users.
This should be continued: this year the University of Technology Hamburg is going to organize the second user meeting.
We already have a date for that: Sep 16 and Sep 17, 2013. The meeting will take place in Hamburg.
This is a first announcement of this meeting and also a call for papers; whoever would like to present
something with a VuFind-related topic, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Its planned to use German as main conference language. This should not exclude international attendees;
if there is a lot of interest, we can still think about changing the conference language.
We are looking forward for suggestions, ideas and feedback to form the agenda and/or presentations for the meeting.
