ILS Support Updates

Demian and Chris met with Ex Libris representatives to discuss the state of the Alma driver. Everyone seems happy with it so far, but a few possible optimizations have been suggested to improve performance. These will be incorporated into a future release.

Browse Handler Optimizations

Tod has been devoting some time to this; the browse handler Java requirement has been raised to Java 8. More work will be forthcoming, and will be discussed in the pull requests on the handler.

3. Institutional Home

No news.

4. VuFind Summit 2018

Registration is now open. Demian is still accepting talk proposals.

5. Other Topics?

Villanova has upgraded their web design; they now have live Channels (though it's just using default settings for now – will be customized later).

Next Call

The next call will be Tuesday, September 11, 2018 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
