Resource Sharing

Transition of service: Requesting material from other libraries

UW-Green Bay Library has a new, improved system for borrowing materials from other libraries to get resources to you faster. You may notice slight changes to the process. Requests will still be filled with priority from other UW and nearby libraries when available, and automatically filled from additional libraries if needed.

If you have questions, please contact the Library at interloan@uwgb.edu.

New requesting options will appear under a section labeled "Request Options". Digital items will be delivered to your email address and will be downloadable from your account in Search@UW.

For the best user experience and to see available request options, sign in to your library account.
