order.
 Guide letters are on the front of each drawer to tell what cards are in
it.
 An alphabetical listing, especially of books in a library, containing
information about each item, historically on cards in a file.
The Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC)

 It is an electronic database of titles a library has in stock. The

titles include books, journals, compact discs and any other
sources of information the library has in store.
Ways of Searching in an OPAC

Title Search
Each information source got a title and that title may be used
to locate the information source using the OPAC. If you know
the books’ title, you can search for it. Computerized catalog
varies, but you will usually select a title search and type in at
least the first few words of the title.
 
Ways of Searching in an OPAC

Author Search
The author is the creator of the information source. An
information source may have two or more authors. These can
be used for searching whatever information source one wants
as long as the author of the book is known. If you know the
author of the book or if you are interested in other works by a
favorite author, you can search for that. Authors are usually
listed by their last names.
Ways of Searching in an OPAC

Subject Search
The subject refers to some form of controlled keyword.
Librarians do not just assign keywords to cover certain
disciplines they use some form of agreed and standardized
keywords or phrases which are known as subjects or subject
headings. If you know what you want to read about, or your
searching for particular information, but you don’t know the
title of a specific book, try a subject search.
Ways of Searching in an OPAC

Keyword Search
Most electronic catalogs will let you search on a keyword or
words. For example, searching on the keyword “French”
would find any book with that word in the title, be it about
French cooking, French tourism, etc.
