 In developing countries, most information is in the grey form. These are the documents which actually chart the country’s development efforts. This information is never published in a commercial channel. This information is usually in the form of theses, research reports, teachers' hands-out and seminar papers. With the Covid-19 pandemic, all the libraries of developing countries are closed and the majority of the information is housed in the stacks of library buildings. The solution to this problem is to create digital libraries where all the information is available in a single point of access. VuFind can provide this type of search. This presentation will discuss various software and its configuration to allow harvesting data. This approach ultimately provides a solution to the aforementioned problem to support teaching and learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. In developing countries, most information is in the grey form.

 Many library software applications, including VuFind, use usernames and passwords to access data. However, some instances still use the insecure HTTP protocol for access. HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) requires a TLS certificate to be installed on the server. When HTTP is combined with TLS, it is called HTTPS, and appears in the URL. Symbolically, https is shown through a padlock icon. This talk discusses how to set up HTTPS to improve site security without the need for purchasing expensive certificates, ensuring that VuFind and other tools can be used safely and affordably throughout the world. Many library software applications, including VuFind, use usernames and passwords to access data.

 In recent years, Javascript application programming has become an important architectural approach for many websites. Popular frameworks such as React or AngularJS offer sophisticated development environments to create impressive applications in a very short time. This presentation reports on a proof-of-concept project creating a Single Page Application (SPA) on top of the VuFind API within three days. On an experimental level, basic search functionalities, facets, bookmarks and some other interesting features were implemented. Furthermore, the App was realized as a Progressive Web App (PWA) and can be "installed" on user devices. In recent years, Javascript application programming has become an important architectural approach for many websites.

 Discovery systems suggest by their name that they allow for more than just searching for known items. Features supporting this kind of search approach however seldom go beyond topical facets or bento boxes that offer links to subject guides and other services and resources outside the actual discovery system. In this talk, we will look at ways to better integrate curated content into discovery systems, as it is currently discussed within the German beluga core consortium of seven libraries using VuFind. One of our approaches is to use the public lists functionality within VuFind to create both browsing functionality and to offer curated lists of standard textbooks and other introductory material. We are also looking at ways to boost items from public lists by teaching staff in the results lists of our discovery system. The talk is meant to inspire a discussion about these and other ways to improve the discovery experience within university libraries and will feature wireframes of the intended functionality. Discovery systems suggest by their name that they allow for more than just searching for known items.
