Abstract

Abstract
The present paper examines the utility and application of two Central University Libraries of India. Findings clearly revealed that the majority of the users extensively use the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) because it saves the time substantially. However, the OPAC is the most popular and successful way of indicating the holding and shelves of items in a library. The study reveals that most of the users of JMI and JNU are using OPAC for the bibliographical detail. The study also reveals that most of the users of both the libraries require training programmes so that they may handle OPAC with ease and confidence. Furthermore, it suggests that well qualified and experienced staff should be appointed in the libraries for providing better services.
