LibrarySearch

You can search for both books and articles in LibrarySearch, and there are filters, such as peer review for articles, that you can use. Once you've entered a search, sign in with your maine.edu credentials for the most access to full text.

Take a look at our LibrarySearch tutorial to get acquainted with this new system!

Other Places to Search for Scholarly Articles

While we can search all Fogler databases at once in LibrarySearch, we might benefit from a more focused, discipline-specific search by using individual databases. Here is a list of databases that might help you find information on topics related to archaeology.

Google Scholar may also be a possibility, but use it very carefully.  We lose the ability to have edited, verified collections with this product.  To get the most full text, go to the Menu bar in the upper left, click on Settings, then click on Library Links. Choose University of Maine - Full Text.

American Antiquity - You may want to browse the most recent issues of this journal, or search within multiple issues, which you can do from this link. To search within all issues, scroll down to the section Search Inside. To view recent issues, scroll down to the section View Online and click on Cambridge Journals.  You will then see choices to view the Latest Issue or  All Issues.
