  • URSUS : Use the URSUS catalog to find physical books and online books in the Libraries, the University of Maine System, and beyond.
  • MaineCat : If you don't find what you need using URSUS, then try Mainecat which contains books from all over Maine.
  • WorldCat : 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.
