Accessing the Library
Your tuition supports your use of the Cofrin Library and the UW-Green Bay library system. This is a fantastic resource for you. The library subscribes to extensive on-line library databases with many full text articles.
To use the UW-Green Bay online library:
- Click on the UW-Green Bay library at http://www.uwgb.edu/library
- Click on Off-Campus Access to Electronic Reserves and Online Databases. This is in maroon between the Cofrin Library Catalog box and the Online Databases box.
- Enter your UW-Green Bay campus network user name and password. If you don't know your UW-Green Bay campus network username and password, contact the UW-Green Bay Helpdesk via e-mail at helpdesk@uwgb.edu or phone at 920-465-2309 from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Tell the person answering that you are an off-campus nursing student and you need help with getting your password for using the library. If a student worker answers the phone, the worker might need to get a staff person to help you with this.
Once you have logged onto the UW-Green Bay library, you can access the on-line databases. At this time, one login enables you to have access to all of the databases. Pull down 'Select' under Online Databases and choose a database. Three on-line databases that nursing students find very useful are: ProQuest Nursing, CINHAL, and Academic Search Elite. Click on the database, click on it again. Enter your search terms. You are also able to limit your search to full-text articles and peer review articles (sometimes you need to click on Advanced Search for this). Using on-line databases is one of the most important skills you will learn during the Program. This is the way that you will be accessing information for years to come.
