Online Catalog

  • An online catalog, called "CountyCat", is the electronic catalog of holdings in all Milwaukee County Public Libraries, including Brown Deer Public Library. In order to access it follow these directions:

    Point your browser to: http://countycat.mcfls.org

    This is a graphical user interface, so you will use your mouse to navigate through the screens by pointing and clicking at different choices. The web version of CountyCat also links you to "Badgerlink" (http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/badgerlink), a state-supported database of magazine articles, newspaper articles, government information, and much more.

    Select the CountyCat button from the blue MCFLS frame on the left side of the screen.

    You can also renew materials online through our catalog. Point your browser to: http://countycat.mcfls.org.
