Welcome to the Library

OPALS is a community of academic, education, special, and public librarians who collaborate with experienced software engineers, automation consultants, support technicians, and administrators to develop and support this open-source integrated library system.

Museums, research institutes and associations use OPALS to manage their diverse collections and make them available to their members. These libraries’ resources include digital archives, eBooks, streaming video, printed reports and books. Libraries use portals and widgets to customize their sites and explain their institutions’ missions.

OPALS features content that is aggregated. The Jewish Center subscribes to OPALS as a service to congregants but does not publish content. We hope you enjoy using the OPALS library!
