Welcome to the Bolton Sullivan Library Media Center (LMC) of Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart. Enriching the educational lives of the students and faculty at Woodlands by providing print, web and audiovisual resources needed to support and enhance the curriculum is the library’s mission.
Catalog
The Library Media Center’s collection is accessible from
every library computer via its Follett online catalog.
Books, Magazines, & Videos
The print collection contains over 15,000 volumes of fiction, non-fiction
and reference titles, plus nearly 20 newspapers and magazines. The
library also owns over 400 curriculum-related videos and DVDs.
Reference Services
Staff provides library instruction and orientation, teaches
information literacy skills, helps with reference database searching
and web evaluation, and offers research assistance.
Electronic Resources
Online Databases
The Library subscribes to online reference databases selected based on their ability
to provide periodical and reference information that supports the curricular needs of
students and faculty. These databases are available via the Library’s home page and may
be accessed remotely by students and faculty via “password bookmarks” which can be obtained
from the Library staff.
Internet
The Library provides Internet access for academic and research purposes based on the school’s
Internet Acceptable Use Policy.
Videos/DVDs
The audiovisual collection has over 400 titles in video and DVD formats.
These materials are available for checkout by both faculty and students.
Magazines
Our collection contains nearly 20 magazine and newspaper titles, including the Chicago
Tribune, Time, Newsweek, and National Geographic, and all are available for in-library use.
Interlibrary Loan
As members of the North Suburban Library System (NSLS) we are able to obtain many items that we do not currently own from other, nearby
libraries via interlibrary loan. Please ask a Librarian for assistance if a title you need is not in the Woodlands online catalog.
