OPAC System
As the acronym suggests, it provides an Online Public Access Catalogue. The bibliographic databases can be accessed with printed indexes. The system includes a word-based search facility using Boolean operators that can narrow down a search to meet very specific needs. Additional features of this system are:
- Periodic listing of recent additions to the library;
- Members can find the materials checked-out to them; and
- Reserve materials that are currently in circulation.
WEB-OPAC System
It is an optional module and provides an advanced GUI interface to enable searching of the library database through an industry standard Web browser having all the features of OPAC.

Dear madam
thanks for your kind article, but I was not need of such a long article, my query was only that if we use the term "online" in simple opac system which is a searching tool in library premises only. then what is the meaning of online here. becuase when we use term online for shoping its means shoping on net or through net. when we say apply online, then we apply through net. if we say its is cumputerrised catalouge than we can call it marc (i.e. machine readable catalouge) or simply can say computerised catalouge. why we call it online. if we cannot access it outside of the library from anywhere. becuase when we does anything online we can access it from anywhere. so our query is this plz. solve this
