About this guide

Students, faculty and staff can check out books and other materials from 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 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

  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.
