+:!: PICA was never well-supported in the VuFind 2.x line, and the driver was removed entirely in release 2.5; this documentation is retained for reference in case any 1.x users still need it.

 DAIA.ini only contains the address of the DAIA server.
 PICA.ini is to be configured with the host name of the catalog box. renewalsScript contains the address of a script, which is used to get the number of renewals for loans. If you have such a script, fill it in here. If not (its not standard in PICA), leave this option blank.
 ==== DAIA ====
-As already mentioned, you need a DAIA server supplying availability information for your local items. You can choose any DAIA server you want, for example phpDaia, which is part of the DAIA distribution (http://sourceforge.net/projects/daia/files/DAIA-0.28.tar.gz/download). The DAIA server can be installed anywhere you like (e.g. on the machine where vufind is installed).

 locationsFile = "yourlocationfile.txt" ;  This file is necessary to translate locations from PICA into human readable information. It may be a bit tricky to create this file. The sample file included in phpDaia shows how the file is needed to be structured.
