-Vufind already uses a number of icons for different resource types. The Summon interface needs more still. A full set of free icons which can be used by all library applications would be useful and save each application reinventing the wheel. This page is to collect a list of potentially useful icons, classified by type. (S) after an icon signifies 'required for Summon'.

+VuFind uses icons throughout its user interface, but it is often useful to add more for local customizations. This page provides some possible sources for additional icons.
+This page also used to include a "wish list" of format icons for VuFind, but because that information was outdated, it has been removed. You can look through "old revisions" if you wish to see it.
