Integration reference - VuFind®
| Briefly describe the purpose of the integration. | VuFind®'s FOLIO ILS driver provides real-time availability, patron functionality, and course reserves access. |
|---|---|
| What standards are used in the integration (if applicable) | Currently built upon direct Okapi access. |
| What FOLIO modules are used (and apps, if applicable) | accounts, authn, circulation (loans/renew-by-id/requests), courselistings, coursereserves, holdings-storage, instance-storage, inventory, item-storage, locations, request-storage, service-points, users (note: different modules may be used under different configurations) |
| FOLIO settings dependencies | Requires an Okapi account with appropriate permissions. |
| Points of integration (e.g., what data points need to match, if any) | Configurable: instance records can be matched on HRID or UUID; patron records can be matched on a variety of possible criteria. |
| Considerations for implementers | First introduced in VuFind® 5.1; production-ready in VuFind® 7.0; still under continuous improvement (upgrading to latest release always recommended!) |
