Books and Media: You will find over 16 million items from UW System Libraries in Search@UW. Digital Collections: Find items from UW Digital Collections. Articles: You will find the majority of our articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers in Search@UW. This is not the only place to look. Try searching in our databases as well!

Finding eBooks at UWGB Libraries

You can find many eBooks through Search@UW.This is a convenient option for online students or those often off-campus. Look for the green Online Access label below titles when searching. Otherwise, you can limit to only eBooks by clicking on Green Bay Online Resources on the left side of the results page. 

You may need to sign in with your UWGB credentials. See the "home" page of this guide for more information on accessing content off-campus. 

You can read eBooks online or download them to a device. For more information see our eBooks guide in the link below:

Get Items from Other UW Libraries

Get Items from Other UW Libraries

Use Search@UW to find books, media and more. Some items show "Request this item," which may mean that it is located at another library. You can request these items or visit another library to view them.

Option 1: Request an item

  1. sign in to your account all available request options. Click on the UW Request option under Get It then click Submit
  2. If the book you requested is unavailable, you will receive an email with alternative request options.
  3. Once your item arrives at your campus library, you will be notified via email to pick up the item at your library’s main circulation desk.

Option 2: Visit another library

If you find yourself near another UW Library, you are welcome to visit and check out items at that library using your UW-Green Bay ID.

You don't have to travel back to that library to return your item, just drop it in your campus library’s book drop and we'll send it back.

Note: the item will not be officially 'returned' until it is checked in at the lending library.
