How Do I...

Before you get started, you will need to set up a library account. The username for your account will be a barcode, proxy ID or your full MCW email address. See the Eligibility and How to Request Access page to learn how you can set up your library account. 

Step 1: Go to the  MCW Libraries web page and click SIGN IN TO THE LIBRARY CATALOG. The link shows up under the Library Catalog search box.

Step 2: Click the Set/reset password link to create a password in the library catalog, and enter your Barcode, Proxy ID or your full MCW email address.

• If you have a barcode, it will start with the number 25105....
• If you have a Proxy ID, it may start with a combination of letters and your last name, ie FH_lastname.
• Some accounts are set up with the user's full MCW email address. 

An email with further instructions will be sent to the email address that we have on file. 

Step 1: Go to the  MCW Libraries web page and click SIGN IN TO THE LIBRARY CATALOG. The link shows up under the Library Catalog search box.

Step 2: Login with your library account information - either your Library Barcode, your Proxy ID or your full MCW email address. If you don't have a password set up, see the instructions above.

Step 3: After successfully logging in, you should see your name in the top-right corner of the screen. Click your name and choose "My account."

Step 4: Click the Renew button to renew an item and note the new due date. You can renew an item up to 5 times online, as long as someone else hasn't placed a hold on it. After 5 times, you will need to bring the book back to MCW Libraries and we re-check it out to you. 

Please note that if you checked out a book through Interlibrary Loan, you can request a renewal in Clio or by contacting the Interlibrary Loan department - (414) 955-8310, askill@mcw.edu.
