# Working with OPDS Catalogs
|
|
|
|
> The Open Publication Distribution System (OPDS) format is a syndication format for electronic publications. OPDS catalogs enable the aggregation, distribution, discovery, and acquisition of electronic publications (Wikipedia).
|
|
|
|
**Librera** allows the user to open OPDS catalogs, use their search engines to navigate within them, and download books from them.
|
|
|
|
## Opening a Catalog
|
|
* **Librera** comes with a preconfigured list of catalogs in the _Networks_ tab
|
|
* Tap on a list item to open a catalog (some of them require registration, so make sure you've already registered with those)
|
|
|
|
## Adding a Catalog to the List
|
|
* Tap the add icon (**+**) to open the _New Catalog_ dialog
|
|
* Enter the address of the catalog and its name and description (optional), and then tap _ADD_
|
|
> **Librera** will open this dialog again if the connection fails. Check _Add as a WEB site_ box and try again
|
|
|
|
**To remove all OPDS catalogs you've added to the original list, tap the _Restore default_ link at the bottom**
