The card catalog is a traditional system for organizing library materials using physical cards, where each card represents a book or resource and is categorized by author, title, or subject. In contrast, the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) is a digital interface that allows users to search for library materials electronically, providing more efficient and versatile search options. OPACs often include features like keyword searching, availability status, and user accounts for reserving or renewing items, making them more user-friendly and accessible than physical card catalogs. Overall, OPACs represent a significant advancement in library cataloging and user interaction.

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.
