About this guide

Students, faculty and staff can now check out books and other materials from the Cofrin Library at UW-Green Bay! All you need to do is request the items you want, schedule a pick-up time and then go to the library to get your items.

It's now also possible to request books from other libraries (UW Request and interlibrary loan), though the process will be slower than usual due to closures and enhanced safety protocols.

Please review the following instructions for requesting and picking up library materials.

1. Request an item in Search@UW

  1. Use Search@UW and ensure that Online resources only is not checked. You can use the drop-down list to search Everything, UWGB Libraries Books, media & more (Green Bay only) or UW Libraries Books, Media & More (all UW Libraries).
  2. Sign in with your UWGB account.
  3. Optional: If you only want to see materials that are at Cofrin Library in Green Bay, select UW-Green Bay under Refine My Results > Library.
  4. Choose the title of the book or other material you want.
  5. If the option is there, click UWGB Libraries Request under the Get It heading. Otherwise, choose UW Libraries Request.

    If the title you are requesting has multiple volumes, click UWGB Libraries Request under the holdings list. You will need to request each volume you want.
  6. Confirm that the pickup location is set to UW Green Bay; pickup at other locations is not currently available. Click UWGB Libraries Request or Request to submit your request.
