Using Destiny Quest (OPAC):

• OPAC is the Online Public Access Catalog• It is a database of all the materials that we

have here in the library• You can search by title, author, subject or

keyword to find your materials• It will tell you whether or not the book is

checked out, how many copies we have of the book, a summary, and the book’s call number.
