ScienceDirect is a platform for full-text journals, e-books, and references from the publisher Elsevier, some of which are accessible through library subscriptions or purchases. The University of Maine System Libraries have access to the Freedom Collection (see list at https://www.elsevier.com/solutions/sciencedirect/content/journal-title-lists) of more than 1,800 journals on science, technology, medicine, and other topics, most with backfiles from 1995 to present. In addition, individual campuses may subscribe to selected journals outside of the Freedom Collection, or may have purchased selected e-books; these selections have been cataloged and linked in URSUS.

Use the DOE Data Explorer (DDE) to find scientific research data - such as computer simulations, numeric data files, figures and plots, interactive maps, multimedia, and scientific images - generated in the course of DOE-sponsored research in various science disciplines. The DOE Data Explorer provides access both to collections and to individual datasets that have been submitted to OSTI by their creator, by a DOE National Laboratory, or by a DOE Data Center
Energy, Transportation & the Environment: A Statistical Sourcebook and Guide to Government Data draws from the vast information resources of the federal government, and culls most current and vital facts available on these critical topics. This new reference title, updated annually, presents the latest available information on topics such as cars & driving, energy consumption & production, alternative fuels & renewable energy, public transportation, travel and safety, pollution, greenhouse gasses & climate change, and waste & recycling. Also contains a full glossary of terms, index, and an annotated source guide with suggestions for further research.
