New as of June 2024! LibrarySearch is the new library catalog for the University of Maine System, replacing the URSUS catalog. You can search for books, journals, articles, course reserves, and more.
Mainecat is a library catalog for libraries across the state of Maine. If MaineCat has a book you're looking for, you can request that it be delivered to Fogler Library.
If LibrarySearch and MaineCat don't have the book you're looking for, you may request it through InterLibrary Loan, and the ILL staff will work to arrange delivery of your book to Fogler.
