Connect to MCW Libraries Resources from Off-Campus
OpenAthens
Note: MCW Libraries transitioned from the library proxy server to OpenAthens for connecting to library resources from off-campus in December 2021. Links that contain proxy.mcw.lib in the URL no longer work.
MCW Libraries resources are available anytime, anywhere, and on any device.
To connect to resources from off-campus, start out at the library's publicly accessible homepage or at any of our LibGuides. If you click a link to a subscription resource, you will be prompted to login to OpenAthens. Those with MCW accounts can use their account information to login. Other users, including Children's Wisconsin and Froedtert Health employees need to register for an account.
Logging in is easy! If you have an MCW account, choose the first option and sign into Duo. If you are staff at Children's Wisconsin or Froedtert, a volunteer or adjunct faculty, or you have a library account, use the second option and login with your OpenAthens account.
More information can be found on our OpenAthens LibGuide.
