Abstract:
This paper focused on the studentâ€™s awareness of the online public access catalogue (OPAC) services and its usage impact on the students in the JAIN (Deemed-to-be University). For this survey, 160 undergraduate and postgraduate students were comprised of a well-structured questionnaire method to collect the data. The data analysis revealed the awareness of usage among the OPAC, frequency of usage, type of search with OPAC, and the main challenge faced by the user limited search options.
