I have posted on the Catholic Research Resources Alliance (CRRA) blog my experiences of the most recent VUFind conference. From the posting: The Conference was well-organized and provided a forum for plenty of discussion and idea generation. The setting was very nice and the food was plentiful. Everybody was able to participate. I heard a number of people say they were either implementing or toying with the idea of implementing Evergreen as their "catalog" and using VUFind as their "discovery layer". I had not thought of this. Interesting. I appreciated the active participation of Chris Spalding. He was candid and sincere. It was very nice to put names from the mailing lists with faces, and thus the crowd was international. Blacklight was compared & contrasted with VUFind a number of times throughout the meeting. I believe both communities have something to learn from the other. http://www.catholicresearch.net/blog/2010/09/vufind-2-0-conference/ The VUFind community is most certainly alive and well. -- Eric Lease Morgan University of Notre Dame
