There are different types of card catalogs, including author catalog, title catalog, subject catalog, and shelflist catalog. An author catalog arranges entries by the names of the authors; a title catalog organizes entries alphabetically by the titles of the materials; a subject catalog categorizes entries by subjects or topics; and a shelflist catalog lists materials in the order they appear on the library shelves. These card catalogs were commonly used in libraries before the transition to electronic catalogs.

A card catalog is a physical system using index cards to organize library materials, while an online public access catalog is a digital system that allows users to search for library resources electronically. The main difference is the format and accessibility of the catalog system, with card catalogs being manual and OPACs being automated and online.
An Online Public Access Catalog.
Online Public Access Catalog is the full form of OPAC. It is a kind of database in the library.
A library catalog (or library catalogue) is a register of all bibliographic items found in a library or group of libraries, such as a network of libraries at several locations. A bibliographic item can be any information entity (e.g., books, computer files, graphics, realia, cartographic materials, etc.) that is considered library material (e.g., a single novel in an anthology), or a group of library materials (e.g., a trilogy), or linked from the catalog (e.g., a webpage) as far as it is relevant to the catalog and to the users (patrons) of the library.The card catalog was a familiar sight to library users for generations, but it has been effectively replaced by the online public access catalog (OPAC). Some still refer to the online catalog as a "card catalog". Some libraries with OPAC access still have card catalogs on site, but these are now strictly a secondary resource and are seldom updated. Many of the libraries that have retained their physical card catalog post a sign advising the last year that the card catalog was updated. Some libraries have eliminated their card catalog in favour of the OPAC for the purpose of saving space for other use, such as additional shelving.
