Institution: William Paterson University

Role Profile:

Special Formats Cataloger (Librarian)

Briefly outline your experience with Vufind to date.:

First installation was about a year ago.  We recently started testing VUFind in-house for usability as a replacement for Voyager OPAC.  I am in charge of the installation, customization, etc.

Current/short-term availability:

Longer term availability

The library is committed to implementing VUFind as soon as it is feasible.  This is a slow process because I am solely responsible for it right now, though that will change as we near production.  I can dedicated several hours per week to VUFind as a part of my job.

Development Skills

PHP, CSS

How would you rate your development skills/experience?

(0 = novice; 5 = expert)

2

What skills can bring to the project, other than development skills and the areas of expertise mentioned above?

I am primarily a cataloger, though I perform a lot of duties that would normally fall to a Systems Librarian.  I have a very good understanding of how Voyager's database structure works and how that connects to the MARC record.

Briefly describe your experience on similar projects:

None

Anything else you'd like to add?

I would view my work in the admin group as primarily being a voice for catalogers (and uers) and to lend my expertise to the group in that respect.  However, I can handle basic coding well enough to understand the developer side of the conversation as well.
