[Koha] Discovery Tool VuFind implementation at BRAC University

[Chris Cormack]

Hi Hasina

Very cool :)  Are you accepting suggestions/patches?
One thing I would suggest is using Koha's ILS-DI API rather than direct database calls. This will mean it will obey the system preferences, and other settings, and will be less likely to break.
