Wisconsin Governor James Doyle has declared February "Library Lovers' Month."
Gov. Doyle encourages everyone to visit libraries and to take advantage of these unique and wonderful institutions that contribute so much to Wisconsin's well-being.
Special treats for everyone who tells us why their library is important to them personally. Visit the libraries at Mercy Medical Center in Oshkosh or St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton. Or email mmatuche@affinityhealth.org with your response.
Thanks for your support!

Need a Username & Password to access an online journal?
Tip for Navigating the New Library Website : Need a username and password to access an online journal?
Affinity Libraries has online access to thousands of online journals. Most of these do not require usernames or passwords. None of them require a credit card.
Check the Affinity A-Z Journals listing for titles and coverage dates. A-Z Journals also provides a link to the full-text. Most of these links will be hassle-free.
There are a handful of online journals that route through EBSCOhost EJS to the publisher's site. When needed, EBSCOHost EJS allows us to list usernames and passwords just when you need to enter them at the publisher's site.
For example,
1) In the A-Z Journals search box, type in Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
2) Click on EBSCOhost EJS.
This leads to a record for this particular journal title. Check this record for any "access notes." This is where usernames and passwords would be listed, if needed.
3) When you "Click here to view issues at the publisher site," the username and password appears near the top of the subsequent window. Again, the username and password are there if you need it.
If what you are looking for does not appear to be available online through library collections, please let us know. We have are part of an extensive network of health science libraries, and we can probably borrow a copy of what you need. Just let us know ... Request a Journal Article [Intranet only]

Tip for Navigating the New Library Web
Need a username and password to access a library program?
Most of our licensed resources "authenticate" (meaning, they know we are legitimate users with licensed access) by means other than usernames and passwords. However, there are a few sites for which Affinity has lisenced access to online content that do require usernames and passwords. These are ACP Medicine and Well-Connected.
Visitors to The Affinity Library Services website [Intranet only] will find the required usernames and passwords in the summary text that introduces the link. This summary text appears right after the title or pops up as your mouse rolls over the link title.
ACP Medicine:
High-quality, peer-reviewed, current, evidence-based medical information. Formerly WebMD-Scientific American Medicine.
username : password :
Well-Connected Patient Education Handouts:
Patient Education Reports on common diseases and wellness issues. Includes an in-depth discussion of the latest information on treatments, risk factors, causes, diagnostic tests, preventative measures.
userID : password :
[Visit the Affinity Library Services Intranet website for the actual usernames and passwords. For security reasons, I cannot post them to this site.]
The one exception is MDConsult.
Affinity users can register via the link on the Affinity Library Services web pages. During the registration process, users choose their own username and password. Thereafter, registered users can login wherever they have internet access (at work, at home, the coffeeshop, etc.), and MDConsult will know they fall under the Affinity license.
