 We have developed an API that allows to perform those tasks through simple requests. It can be used by the maintainers of VuFind® or even other departments of a library. Currently, there are three functions it provides. 1. It can return all stored data about a user in a readable format. 2. It can delete all of that data. 3. Sometimes, users get new or second accounts from their libraries. They are registered as new users in VuFind®. The API can then move their favorite lists from the old to the new account. We have developed an API that allows to perform those tasks through simple requests.

 +==== Stephanie Leary and Andrea Buntz Neiman, Equinox Open Library Initiative - Layers of Accessibility in Open Source: Creating an Accessible Theme for VuFind® ====
 +
 +In early 2023, Equinox Open Library Initiative produced a fully reworked theme for VuFind® . The theme passes WCAG 2.1 AA standard and is freely available for download from Equinox's GitHub page. This talk will discuss the development process related to the theme including challenges encountered as well as future suggestions for front-end accessibility practices in VuFind®.
 +
 +==== André Lahmann, University of Leipzig - Security insights from analysing VuFind® code ====
 +
 +In this session we will discuss the results of the code analysis done by a contractor on the VuFind®  code base (release 9.0.2). 
 +
 +==== David Maus, State and University Library Hamburg (SUB HH) - Analyzing, understanding and (hopefully) fixing degraded search performance ====
 +
 +Katalogplus is the VuFind-based discovery system of the State and University Library Hamburg (SUB HH), the largest academic library in Hamburg and central lending library for the University of Hamburg and the city's other higher education institutions. In summer 2022 our main search index provider clarified a usage policy and limited the number of requests a client could make without being throttled. Being a high volume discovery system, this caused serious performance degradation for our end users.
 +
 +We developed SolrProbe, a composer-installable component, to gather empirical information about our discovery system's use of the search index and subsequently measure the impact of modifications to our setup.
 +
 +In this presentation, I will give a short introduction to SolrProbe and discuss some of our findings regarding possible ways to improve our search performance.
