In order to find books, journal titles, videos, government documents and other materials held in the University of Maine System you will need to consult LibrarySearch, the online catalog. Because journal article citations are not individually included in LibrarySearch, you will need to use a discipline-specific index to find this information (see Resources by Subject).
If you do not know the exact subject heading describing the topic you need, try doing a keyword search using other word/s related to that topic and then click on the subject heading links found within the relevant records to find additional, useful resources.
