Search & Locate Materials Easily with KOHA
The UPLB University Library system uses KOHA, an open-source integrated library system.
Instead of the usual library card, you can use your Koha account to search the online catalog, reserve books, check your transactions, and save the bibliographic details of any materials.

OPAC
ONLINE PUBLIC ACCESS CATALOG
It allows easy and quick searching of library holdings.
To search the OPAC, enter your keywords in the search box at the topmost part of the page or click the ‘Advanced search’ link to perform a more detailed search.
By default, the search results are sorted by relevance. You may choose other sorting methods from the drop-down menu on the right. You may also refine your search using the parameters on the left side of the page.
The search result also provides the basic bibliographic details of each material.
Click a title from the search result to view the detailed bibliographic record of the material. There are also several navigation links anchored to material that will aid your research.
