It is easy to learn and use.

Users with Internet access can easily access the OPAC from anywhere. An onsite version of the OPAC is available for individuals without Internet access. This version is available through computer workstations at the various libraries.

Authors' names and subjects appear as hypertext links within a record. Users can click on these links to initiate new searches.

Bibliographic Records can be printed and/or emailed from the OPAC terminals.

  1. All persons who have registered with the library can also login to the OPAC under your own profile. The login link is in the upper right hand corner of the page. In your profile you can create a list of materials that you would like to look at. You can also look under the "My Account" tab to view any borrowed materials and/or fines under your name.

  2. You can also see if instructors have placed any materials on reserve by looking under the "Course Reserves" tab.

  3. The overview page on the OPAC allows to user to log in to their account (UB ID number and surname) to save search preferences such as the number of items to display, to save searches and search results. It also has a New Books tab which will display only items recently acquired by the library. As well it is possible to use limiters to narrow down search results to holdings of particular libraries or collections within the University Libraries system
