DWC has online eCatalog

We are pleased to let our library patrons know that we have an online library catalog. The Library eCatalog allows searching through the entire collection held in the Matthew Jacoby Library, including books, videos, DVDs, and CDs. There are many ways to search for library materials. If you experiment with the search engine you will discover which process works best for you. If you know there is a certain resource but are having difficulty finding it, just contact one of the staff.

Periodicals cover many subjects

 

Check out the long list of periodicals found in the Reading Room of the library. You will see many newspapers and journals available for reading. The current publication must be read in the Reading Room, but older issues may be checked out. For journals that we do not own or that seem to be missing, contact Brother Tony.

Trivia Spotlight

New Trivia: The Library’s environment has been enriched by the woodworking skills of Father Walter Bunofsky, SVD. Father Bunofsky’s carvings of ships, fish, and other items, have made our reading room a more pleasant place to be. Thank you, Father Walter, for sharing your talents!

Answer to Previous Trivia Question

Answer:Congratulations this week to Nathaniel Nguyen. Nathaniel went to the World Almanac, where he learned that of the 111,000 deaths by accident in the United States in 2004, the second leading cause was falling. While this seems peculiar, the Almanac pointed out that many elderly people die of complications arising from their falls. Nathaniel also noted that very, very few people die annually in airplane accidents, with the logical conclusion that flying is much safer than being on the ground!
