31 March 2012

Volunteer librarians gathered on 31 March for a training session on the Senayan Library Management System which features the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), an online database with thumbnail document image support, Simple Search and Advanced Search modes, adopted by Pustaka Nalanda.

During the training session, the librarians learnt many features available in the system such as bibliography database management, circulation, membership, and many more that automate various library tasks.

As of 30 April, there are more than 3,000 publication titles available at Pustaka Nalanda, excluding CDs and multimedia items. The Tipiñaka and reading materials are available in many languages, too. You are welcome to visit our Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) at http://nalanda.org.my/pustaka and look up our catalogue of books and other references.
