Finding Items at Fogler Library

Introduction

Some library materials are available online, through library databases. Some are only available in print or on CD, requiring a visit to the library. Some are available in both formats.

Journal Articles

1. Click "Text" links from the database, when available.
2. No "Text" link? Click :
   • Click "University of Maine"
   • Click an "Article" link.
   • No "Article" link? Click "by journal title" to see if the journal is listed in URSUS.
3. No Article Linker? Search the URSUS catalog:
   • Open the URSUS catalog in another browser window
   • Click JOURNAL/MAGAZINE/NEWSPAPER
   • Search for the title of the JOURNAL (or "Source")
   • Click the title of the journal
   • Click the "UM," "UMS," or "Statewide" link(s), if available.
4. No link from URSUS? Search Ejournals at UMaine for the title of the JOURNAL (or "Source").
5. Not on the Ejournals list? URSUS will show whether Fogler Library ("ORO") owns the journal in print, what years we own, and where we shelve them. You will need to come to the library to look at the journal.
6. Not owned by the library? See Getting Items From Other Libraries.
