+You can configure the software to use a Solr index for course reserves searching instead of the ILS driver.  This offers greater flexibility and a more attractive user interface, but it requires you to periodically reindex your data to keep the system up to date.  To configure:
 .) Edit the [Reserves] section of [[configuration:files:config.ini]] and set search_enabled to true.
-.) Turn on the reserves Solr core by editing solr/solr.xml to uncomment the appropriate line and then [[administration:starting_and_stopping_solr|restarting Solr]]. :!: This step is not necessary in VuFind® 3.0 or newer.
+.) Load data into the index by running the util/index_reserves.php tool to extract it from your ILS.  ILS extraction requires support in the [[development:plugins:ils_drivers|ILS driver]].  You can also load data from a CSV file.  See index_reserves.php parameters below for details.

 ==== Multiple reserve Solr cores ====
-If your Solr installation has more than one core for reserves (for instance, your Solr service is used by more than one VuFind® installation), you can change the name of the reserves core.
+Starting with VuFind® 9.0, if your Solr installation has more than one core for reserves (for instance, your Solr service is used by more than one VuFind® installation), you can change the name of the reserves core by customizing the [Index] section of reserves.ini. For earlier versions of VuFind®, customizing the core name required you to override the factory of the SolrReserves search backend.
-.) Create module/<your_module>/src/<your_module>/Search/Factory/SolrReservesBackendFactory.php and extend the parent class. Change $this->solrCore to the name of your reserves Solr core:
-<code>
-<?php
-namespace <your_module>\Search\Factory;
-class SolrReservesBackendFactory extends \VuFind\Search\Factory\SolrReservesBackendFactory
-{
-    public function __construct()
-    {
-        parent::__construct();
-        $this->solrCore = '<your-library>_reserves';
-    }
-}
-</code>
-.) Add a factory plugin to the new factory in your module's "module.config.php"
-<code>
-'vufind' =>
-  array(
-    'search_backend' =>
-      array(
-        'factories' =>
-          array(
-            'SolrReserves' => '<your_module>\Search\Factory\SolrReservesBackendFactory',
-          )
-      )
-  )
-</code>
