How to place a UW System request

UW System requests can be placed through Search@UW. To place a request, you must log into your library account with your campus username and password.

What can I get through UW System?

Physical Items:

  • Books
  • Movies (DVDs)
  • Music (CDs)
  • Music Scores

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.
