Abstract

Advances in information technology have encouraged libraries to transform from conventional service systems to digital-based services to improve the quality of information access for users. One problem still frequently encountered in libraries is the limited access for users to quickly and accurately search for books, especially in libraries with growing collections. This study examines the implementation of a book tracking method in libraries using the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) as the primary means of searching collections. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of OPAC use in helping users find bibliographic information and book locations independently and efficiently. The research methods used included literature review, user needs analysis, digital catalog system design, and implementation of a web-based OPAC integrated with the library's collection database. The OPAC system is designed to support book searches based on various parameters, such as title, author, subject, and keywords, thus facilitating user access to relevant information. System testing was conducted through functional testing and usability evaluation to assess the accuracy of search results and user-friendliness of the interface. The results indicate that the implementation of OPAC can improve the speed and accuracy of the book tracking process, reduce search errors, and increase user satisfaction with library services. Furthermore, this system contributes to improving librarians' work efficiency and supporting more structured collection management. Therefore, the OPAC book tracking method can be a strategic solution to support the modernization of library services and the sustainable optimization of information access.
