LibSys provides an advanced GUI to access OPAC through a web browser. Students and Faculty members can access the library collection via WEB-OPAC. The following facilities are available through http://192.168.0.181:8380/opac/search/search.html during college working Hours.

Follow the following steps for our DATABASE search.

Browse: Alphabetic lists of author, title, subject, publisher and conference place may be browsed. By entering the initial characters of the required word, the list or catalogue scrolls till it positions the string at the beginning of the display screen.

The search results are displayed in a list of titles with author, title, year of publication and call number. For a selected title, complete details along with the number and status of copies are given.

There are options to see linked resources such as images, audio, etc., as also to put on reserve. Searches may be narrowed down by specifying a period of publication and restricting them to particular type of documents.

Search: Enter word(s) from any of the searchable fields suchas author, title, subject, etc. The search could be restricted to aspecific field with option to form a phrase or use 'OR' and 'AND'operators between words. The interface allows for development of complex search strategies using Boolean operators 'OR', 'AND' and 'AND NOT' between keywords in various fields.
