Search@UW New Servers

The UW Libraries have been really good this year, so Santa is bringing us new servers for Search@UW!  

We will be migrating to the new servers over the weekend and through Christmas.  The My Account and E-Shelf functionality will be in read-only mode (any changes you make will not be saved) starting on Friday, December 20th around midnight, through whenever the work finishes, possibly as late as December 26th

Search@UW will be completely down on Sunday, December 22nd around midnight through 8 a.m. 

You will still be able to renew items through the Cofrin Library Catalog link below the search box on our home page, or at the service desks in the library, since the circulation system is not impacted by this maintenance.  Please contact us if you need help or have questions!

Log into ILLiad with UWGB Username & Password

You can now log into your ILLiad account and do everything interlibrary loan-related with your UWGB username and password. Now when you log into ILLiad or submit an ILL request from a library database, you’ll be prompted to sign in with your UWGB username and password rather than your 16 digit institutional ID and last name.  Please let us know if you have any issues with the new login.

Finding UWGB Theses

The Cofrin Library holds two copies of most theses granted by UW-Green Bay, one in our University Archives and another in our circulating collection. All theses held in the library have a record in Search@UW, the library’s finding tool for books, articles, films, and more.  A full listing of the UWGB theses held by the library can be found here:

University of Wisconsin Green Bay Dissertations

Most theses records contain a series note that reads University of Wisconsin Green Bay Dissertations.   When searching for theses on a specific topic, it is best to include this phrase along with the topic keywords in your search. To save a search, sign into Search@UW. Once you are signed in, you can save a query by clicking the Save Query link, which appears below the facets on the Brief Results page. You can access your saved and session queries by clicking either the e-Shelf or My Account link and then clicking the Queries tab.

If you would like further assistance finding theses granted by UW-Green Bay or saving and accessing queries in Search@UW please contact the Research Desk. If you are a UWGB graduate student looking for more information on starting, completing, or submitting your thesis, please see the Thesis/ Project Information page from the Graduate Studies Office.
