OPAC - What Works for You and Your School?


This week my partner and I researched two different OPAC systems: OPALS and Destiny.  After researching both, we decided to present our findings on OPALS.  OPALS (Open-source Automated Library System) is a free and open-source library management system that helps libraries manage their collections, helps students find resources, and assists with various other library functions. It provides a wide range of features, including an online public access catalog, circulation management, inventory control, and book recommendations for students. OPALS is used by various types of libraries, including school libraries, academic libraries, public libraries, and more. 

Below you will find the highlights of OPALS:
