OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog)

An OPAC, or Online Public Access Catalog, is a digital database that allows users to search for and locate library materials such as books, journals, DVDs, and more. It provides a user-friendly interface where you can input titles, authors, or subjects to find specific items available in the library’s collection. OPACs typically include details like availability status, location, and publication information. They serve as a convenient tool for efficiently navigating a library’s holdings, both on-site and remotely, enhancing access to resources without needing to browse physical shelves.
