To access E-books, always sign into MyUSM Portal before searching LibrarySearch.
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.
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.'
