That's what i thought...
You're almost right.
* OPAC means Online Public Access to Catalog. It's the end-user interface.
In an OPAC, the borrower can search for a book, reserve it, and see it's
status (the reader page) if he/she's identified. It's in port 80 on default
installation.
* librarian/8080 port is the librarian access. In it, you can do anything/everything.
* OPAC is not a koha-specific term. Everybody in librarian world uses it.
A third word is often used, it's "web catalog". As koha is a web based application,
the web catalog and the opac are the same thing...
