A public OPAC your readers open on their phones

Flocci Library POS generates shareable public OPAC links: readers open the link on any phone or computer, search the catalogue by title, author or genre, and see live availability — no login, no app, no desk interruption. OPAC stands for Online Public Access Catalogue.

Availability answers itself

'Do you have this book?' moves from the desk to the reader's phone. The OPAC shows live availability straight from the same catalogue the desk uses — always current, never a stale export.

Share it anywhere

The OPAC is a link: put it on the notice board as a QR code, in the WhatsApp group, on the school website or the intranet. Anyone with the link can search; nobody needs an account.

Mobile-first by design

Most readers will open it on a phone, so it's built for phones first — fast search, clean results, obvious availability.

Frequently asked questions

What does OPAC mean?

Online Public Access Catalogue — the reader-facing search interface of a library catalogue. In Flocci it's a shareable link rather than a terminal in the corner.

Do readers see member data?

No — the OPAC exposes only the catalogue and availability. Member records, loans and fines stay inside the staff app.

Can we revoke a shared link?

Yes — OPAC links are tokenized and managed by the library, so access is yours to grant or withdraw.
