What is an OPAC?
Career: Opac
OPAC stands for Online Public Access Catalog, which is an online database of materials held by a library or group of libraries. It allows users to search for books, journals, multimedia, and other resources available in the library's collection. OPACs provide information about the location, availability, and status of library items, making it easier for patrons to find and access resources. They are typically accessible both within the library and remotely via the internet. OPACs have largely replaced traditional card catalogs in modern libraries.
