Children's Wisconsin

Do I need any other accounts to access materials from MCW Libraries?

There are a few additional accounts, both managed by MCW Libraries and not, that you may be asked to register for in order to receive certain materials.

Clio - Clio is the platform MCW Libraries uses for interlibrary loan (ILL) and document delivery. If you need an article that the library does not subscribe to or have in our collection, or you would like to request pick up of a library material at the Family Resource Center at Children's Wisconsin, you may request it and have it delivered to you. 

Request a Clio account here. | Learn more about requesting materials here.

Library Card - You will need to register for a library card if you wish to check out physical materials from the library.

BrowZine - Children's Wisconsin users do not need a BrowZine account to access full text material in BrowZine - your OpenAthens account will allow this. However, creating a BrowZine account will allow you to save favorite journals to "My Bookshelf" for easy access. You can also receive new issue email notifications and download the BrowZine app. Your BrowZine account is not managed by MCW.

MCW Libraries resources are available anytime, anywhere, and on any device. 

To connect to resources from off-campus, start out at MCW Libraries' homepage or at any of our LibGuides. If you click a link to a subscription resource, you may be prompted to login to OpenAthens.

• MCW employees will use their email credentials to login (top option in below image).
• Other users, including Children's Wisconsin and Froedtert Health employees, and MCW volunteer clinical faculty will use their OpenAthens credentials to login (bottom option in below image).  If you have not already established an OpenAthens account, please submit the registration form and credentials will be sent to you.

If you come across OpenAthens links out in the world wide web, you can use them to get access to our library subscriptions. It's as easy as:

1. Find the OpenAthens link.
2. Sign in with your OpenAthens Account
