• VuFind bibliographic data are about one day older than data searched via the classic catalog: VuFind local catalogs are current as of 6:45PM yesterday. The very newest titles (those added today) will not be findable in VuFind today. (OPAC-suppressed bibs that are placed onto a pre-existing course reserve list take one additional day to be displayable in VuFind.) • There is no exact correlation between VuFind indexes and classic catalog indexes, so it’s impossible to do “exactly the same search,” although in some circumstances you can get the same search result.
