Newman Catholic Offers Resources

By Bailey Dillon

The end of the school year is near and Newman Catholic teachers are in the process of giving reports and research projects to their students.  This is why students need some assistance to end the year with star grades. 

Newman Catholic is able to help the students with their projects.  Most resources can be found in the Newman Library, which is loaded with Catholic encyclopedias, Bibles, dictionaries, almanacs, maps, occupational outlook handbooks, thesauruses, and of course, the internet.

Newman Catholic also provides online sources like Gale, Global Issues in Context, Badgerlink, and much more.  To receive the password to log in these online sources at Newman Catholic or at home, you need to visit the librarians in the Newman Library. 

Mrs. Kronberger, one of the librarians, is always willing to help the Newman Catholic students, and she also has access to thousands of titles using the WISCAT system.  “This system allows students to find materials from all over the United States, but this will take about two weeks for information to return to the student.” 

“Students are able to use libraries in our local area: NCTC, UWMC, and UWSP.  Some of these locations will not allow you to check books out, but there could be a suggestion.  At UWMC, a student under the age of 18 may have their parents check out materials for them using a community card.  Students are always welcome to use the quiet library on campus during the evening or weekends whenever they are open.” 

As you can see, Newman Catholic provides extra information in the library that many students can use to help them finish a project or report while receiving a decent grade.
