Marshall,

The National Library of Australia implemented VuFind (as you already know):
http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/

We have also built our own discovery interfaces on top of Lucene and TeraText.  For example, see:
http://www.pictureaustralia.org/index.html (TeraText)
http://search.arrow.edu.au/ (Lucene)

More information about our discovery strategies is here (a site that you alraedy know about):

Subject: [NGC4LIB] VUFind and other discovery interfaces

If your library has implemented, or is considering implementing, VUfind, would you please let me know?



I am interested in mentioning how many libraries that use it in an article that I'm currently working on.  I'm also tracking what libraries use this discovery interface in Library Technology Guides:



http://www.librarytechnology.org/libraries.pl?AltOPAC=VUfind



If you are running other discovery interfaces, I'm interested in those as well.  Here is a draft of a page that provides quick access to the libraries that I know about that have implemented some of the major
products:

Thanks for your help.
