Use the URSUS catalog to find physical books and online books in the UMA Libraries, the University of Maine System, and beyond. If you wish, you can limit your search by using the left side-bar options. Some options include library location, online only, by date, eBooks, and videos. Further down on the left are links to MaineCat and WorldCat. By clicking these, your search will be performed in those resources.
If no library in Maine owns the book, try searching the worldwide library catalog: WorldCat. Items found in WorldCat may be requested with Interlibrary Loan. This provides access to millions of items outside the state of Maine. Please plan ahead - shipments for items outside of Maine can be a week or more, depending on the location of the lending library. For more information, go to: https://1237.account.worldcat.org/profile. You will need to create an account the first time you use it.
