User-Friendly OPAC
by Sahlee M. Rivera

Have you ever tried taking a tour to a library? How do you find the books
you wish to read? It’s tough, right?
In the library, there were plenty of books and you may have had a hard
time finding the books you wanted to read. Fortunately, a user-friendly system is
now available and is called the OPAC or the Online Public Access Catalog which

The OPAC is an online database of reading materials and other library
resources which makes searching better and efficient. It is super easy to use. To
find the book you want, you just have to type the title, author, subject, or
related keywords on the dashboard. Librarian assistance and services may no
