 Hello, and welcome to this month's VuFind tutorial video. This month, we're going to be talking about customizing VuFind's record views.
-So to give a quick overview, I should first say that this is a very in-depth detailed topic, and we can only stretch the surface of it in a brief video. So I encourage you to look at the learning VuFind book, look at the code, look at the wiki, and ask questions of the community if you need more help. But I hope that this video will provide some useful context, and at least show you some of the starting points you'll need to explore to get a deep understanding of all of these concepts.

 So in this video, we're going to talk about record drivers, which are the way VuFind internally represents individual records regardless of where they come from. We're going to talk about the record data for matter, which is a tool that VuFind uses to display tables of data taken from records, which makes it easy to customize particular parts of the user interface in sophisticated ways. And I'm going to do a quick demo of how you can add a custom field to your VuFind instance if you have something you want to display that's not part of the core system.
