1 Easy Book Management

Libraries can upload the book database on M-OPAC cloud. The patrons can readily search book details from the database of different libraries using a smartphone app using different filter options, such as title, author, publisher, subject, ISBN no., published year, and related keywords. With the consolidated library option, students can view the database under one umbrella.

2 Issue Book Online

With easy search of the book or document across all the libraries, the student can have a clear idea regarding the availability of the book in specific libraries. The interactive OPAC mobile app enables the users to access the content and make book claims or reservations on required days within a few clicks. Easy search option makes it convenient for users to issue books online instead of physically going to the library.

3Search History

The history function offers a cumulative list of search queries performed during the search activities. The auto-search option lets you select a search in the list and return to that prior search with a mere click of a button. To ensure the highest level of privacy, the patron can clear this combined list of book searches at any point of time. Students can check the history which further saves their time.

4 Shelf Browse

This feature helps in quickly locating book search and issue records with a number similar to that of the selected record. The librarian can move one bibliographic record at a time forward or backward through the list to further simplify the book searching process. This is similar to looking at the book from left to right on a library shelf. This feature helps in using specific numbers to the book row or shelf which can quicken the searching activity.

5Common Platform

With the integrated feature, where the data of all the libraries registered can be stored in the database, the mobile app acts as a common platform for the library community to share knowledge and ideas. The user can easily make book claims and apply for inter library loans for a specified amount of time. With this integration of libraries, it significantly overcomes the major limitations of other catalogs.

6 Modifying Catalog

The M-OPAC app has an interesting and user-friendly search option, which helps the patrons and librarians to modify the content as per the requirement of students. It is an interactive system where the content in M-OPAC is not restricted and the authorized professionals can update the book catalog whenever required and add or remove books with changing syllabus and rising demand for specific books.
