Chapter 5...

Can you identify the library website, OPAC, library database?

Library website is the web that you can search information about the book you looking for, in university or the library.


An OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) is an online bibliography of a library collection that is available to the public. OPACs developed as stand-alone online catalogs, often from VT100 terminals to a mainframe library catalog. With the arrival of the Internet, most libraries have made their OPAC accessible from a server to users all over the world.

A library database is both an electronic catalog and the access point to information from published works.


Library databases provide access to resources across a wide spectrum of topic and subject areas.
Such as: the arts, genealogy, academic research, home improvement, auto repair, business and much more.


List 5 PDF files of articles you search from Google.

What is '"an abstract"?

An abstract is a condensed version of a longer piece of writing that highlights the major points covered, concisely describes the content and scope of the writing, and reviews the writing's contents in abbreviated form.

What is "a Full-text article"?

Full Text = entire article - Library databases sometimes omit photos, graphs, charts, and figures from articles, but most will indicate that these have been omitted.

What is your search technique when you're doing your homework or assignment?

I usually search the internet from Google and the book from the library.
