The M3 Web OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) is an interface that allows you to use your own Web browser to connect to and search your library's database(s). You can specify the interface language, the databases, and the index to be searched. You can also work with search results in a variety of brief and expanded formats.
The Web OPAC offers three different search methods:
Standard Search – A basic keyword search method that allows the patron to select an index to be searched (such as Title or Author). This method recognizes Boolean logic, truncation, and phrase searches.
Enhanced Search – A more advanced search method that offers search flexibility and options. You can enter simple or complex queries, search by material type, and use index browsing.
Visual Search – An easy point-and-click graphical search method. You can click colorful buttons to narrow your search from broad topics to more defined sub-topics, ultimately reaching search results.
