Finding Books

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.

E-book Databases

Sign-in to MyUSM portal for access to thousands of E-books via the LibrarySearch catalog or via one of our E-book databases. USM has access to E-books marked 'USM Access' or 'UM System-wide Access.'

eBooks in Education

Linked titles take you to the LibrarySearch record where you click on the host database. From an off-campus location you will be prompted to enter your name and ID barcode (2502 or 2186)
