Introduction

When people want to find things in your Evergreen system, they will check the catalog. In Evergreen, the catalog is made available through a web interface, called the OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog). In the latest versions of the Evergreen system, the OPAC is built on a set of programming modules called the Template Toolkit. You will see the OPAC sometimes referred to as the TPAC.

In this chapter, we’ll show you how to customize the OPAC, change it from its default configuration, and make it your own.
