CSTC Library OPAC System Overview

CSTC Library leverages a hybrid cataloging infrastructure to deliver seamless, user-friendly access to its collections across all branches. For offline operations, Infolib provides robust local functionality, while Librarika serves as the web-based OPAC and Integrated Library System (ILS), enabling users to search holdings, request items, and reserve books from any device.

To unify discovery across campuses, CSTC maintains a centralized, mobile-responsive online catalog that merges duplicate records, consolidates location data, and displays real-time availability. Enhanced with cover images, resource links, and advanced filters, the system reflects CSTC’s institutional branding and commitment to academic excellence—ensuring that students, faculty, and staff can navigate the library’s resources with clarity and confidence.
