Opac stand for online public access catalouge. if we differentiate simple opac and webopac we
say that web opac which connected via internet and simple opac which we can access locally
within library premises.
we are little bit confusion if we cannot access simple opac online through net why its called
online public access catalouge. what is mean of online here. plz. guide us and give your valuable
opinion on it

with my opinion and in my knowledge OPAC is online public Access Catalouge.you can access online from anywhere whether u r in library premises if u want use any college library or a school library they have OPAC system by which u can check that which books are available in their Library
I think this is the right information

1. opac we can search books with in campus.

2. web opac we can search books through internet.

Opac we can search books with in campus, Web opac we can search books through internet.

In OPAC, one can have the Catalog in only TEXT mode only using text based interfaces like TELNET and searchable by  author, title and subject only whereas in WebOpac, the catalogs not only in TEXT, but also includes Images, Sounds, Graphics etc (i.e., Multimedia) can be access using GUI (Graphical User Interface) based browsers like Mozilla fire fox, IE., G Chrome etc. and searchable by Author, Title, Subject, Class number, ISBN, ISSN etc.

For OPACs, site's address starts with http:// only and for WebOPACs, http://www.

Dear Sri Anil Kumar Dewangan,

The basic difference between OPAC & WEB OPAC is that Remote Access is possible for the later. While the former is accessible through institutional LAN/Network server.
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

OPAC retrieves the records in the library or connected libraries

WEBOPAC retrieves the records available or posted on servers by different organisations on network over internet
