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.

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