Koha uses an [[https://vufind.org/wiki/development:plugins:ils_drivers|ILS driver]] to connect the records with their holdings and status information. You still need to manually import the MARC data from Koha, so VuFind has the records that can be searched. Once those records are there, VuFind can determine the real time status of the items using the ILS driver. | Koha uses an [[https://vufind.org/wiki/development:plugins:ils_drivers|ILS driver]] to connect the records with their holdings and status information.

VuFind also supports fetching records from Koha using [[indexing:oai-pmh|OAI-PMH]]. It can be useful for automating regular index updates. If you decide to use OAI-PMH, you will also need to set it up in Koha using a [[https://tiketti.koha-suomi.fi/projects/koha-suomen-dokumentaatio/wiki/OAI-PMH-configuration|configuration file to include item information]] (see also [[https://koha-community.org/manual/20.11/en/html/webservices.html#oai-pmh|Koha Manual]]). | VuFind also supports fetching records from Koha using [[indexing:oai-pmh|OAI-PMH]].

Using the export command described below, Koha will include MARC field 952 for each item (see [[https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_(9xx)|Koha's wiki]] for more information). | Using the export command described below, Koha will include MARC field 952 for each item (see [[https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_(9xx)|Koha's wiki]] for more information). |
These fields can be mapped to VuFind's facet fields. The values are typically codes that are not very user-friendly, and while you could translate them to user-readable strings in marc_local.properties, translating them with VuFind's translation mechanism allows more flexibility. See [[indexing:adding_facets#translating_values_with_the_language_translation_system|Addind Facets]] for more information. | These fields can be mapped to VuFind's facet fields.
