How to Locate Materials
For books identified in URSUS that are not in Orono, or that are in MaineCat, use the Request button at the top of the screen to order.
For books found in WorldCat that are not located here in Orono, or that are in MaineCat, use the ILLiad link to order them through Interlibrary Loan.
To find out if Fogler has access to a journal article, perform an URSUS title search using the title of the journal, not the title of the article. This will tell you if Fogler Library has access to the journal, and, if so, for what years and in what format.
If you cannot locate a book in URSUS, MaineCat, or WorldCat, or a journal here in Orono, fill out an Interlibrary Loan form.
