Finding the right search terms can be a major challenge. Being attentive to the terminology you find in materials you've already located is important, and then you have to figure out how to combine them. This tool can help.
This guide is intended to help you locate up-to-date information about your research topics and will help you assure a methodical and more comprehensive approach to collecting information. It will help you locate background information, current scholarly articles, and reliable, credible Internet sites.
In order to find books held in the University of Maine System libraries you should begin with LibrarySearch, the online catalog.
If the material you need is not available at the USM Libraries, you should next search MaineCat and Request the material. If the book is not available through LibrarySearch or MaineCat, then you should create a free Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad) account. See links below.
