Indexes & Databases


Use these databases to locate references to journal articles, books, conference papers and dissertations. Once you have located journal articles of interest, the second step is to search URSUS by the journal title or conference title to determine if the University of Maine owns the material needed. We may own journals in print or online or both formats. Need to check the record listed as Serials (for print holdings) and E-Serials (for electronic holdings). Must click on the "Restricted Access UM" link to see the online holdings. If we do not own the item you need, consider requesting through Interlibrary Loan. Remember most of the articles listed in these databases cannot be located by using a regular web browser such as Google. These databases provide the means to locating scholarly research articles.
