wikipedia - OPAC - Open Public Access Catalogue

(E?)(L?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalog
...
Searching into OPAC
OPAC means Open Public Access Catalogue. Many libraries have their books catalogue accessible via Internet; some of them can be queried using a simple browser, other using a special version of browser (with Javascript and CSS features), some others using Z39.50 clients.
If you are looking for a book, you can access to the OPAC of your nearest library and search for it there.
If you want to look if a book exists and you have few elements to identify it, you can use a meta-searcher: you can fill the query form once and spread you search over many library catalogues. A service such as MultiOpac does this task for you.
