Services for Visitors

The UW-Green Bay Libraries welcome visitors to use our collections and resources. While on campus, you can browse our stacks and use our visitor-designated computer stations. While visiting the library, you can search our databases from a campus computer. These databases are not accessible from off-campus unless you are a UW-Green Bay student, faculty, or staff member. All visitors are expected to follow building policies.
