Green Bay Athletics launched its new and enhanced website this summer at GreenBayPhoenix.com. Select games will still be streamed live through the Horizon League Network. Worth checking out, even during the summer break from competition, are features including video coaches’ shows (a few minutes in length) offering preseason insights on various Phoenix teams. The new emphasis on video, spotlighted under the headline “Phoenix Flix,” will also be a resource for highlights, facility and campus tours, feature stories and behind-the-scenes access at both the standard and premium-user levels. More to come regarding premium-user levels in fall. To learn more, visit www.GreenBayPhoenix.com.

. . . and don’t forget YOUR library

Alumni are more than welcome to come back to campus and use the library for research. A reference librarian will assist you in logging on as a guest to conduct your research. What you are not able to do is access these online resources from off campus as you were able to do as a student. Why? Costs for these resources are calculated by the University’s headcount of registered students, faculty and staff. With 26,000 alumni, online access isn’t feasible. As a UW-Green Bay “alum” you have borrowing privileges to the Cofrin Library’s book collection, as well. And citizens of Wisconsin can access a set of databases through Badgerlink (www.badgerlink.net/), which you can access from home or work. For more on alumni benefits for the Cofrin Libary, call 920-465-2333.
