1. SERVICES
            A. MAINE'S SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND BUSINESS RESEARCH LIBRARY
Fogler Library serves as a resource for meeting the science, technology and business information needs of citizens of the state. We provide a portal for information resources in these areas at <http://www.library.umaine.edu/scitechbus/>. The portal includes databases funded by the Maine State Legislature, plus links to additional resources. For more information, contact <scitechbus@library.umaine.edu>.  
 
2. COLLECTIONS
            A. TOWN REPORTS UPDATE
The Maine Town Reports partnership project with the Maine State Library continues to grow. We have added content from 6 new towns: Bar Harbor, Belgrade, Camden, Damariscotta, Jay and South Paris Village. Please see the map of current holdings at <http://library.umaine.edu/townreport/>. Our current highlight takes you Down East to the town of Jonesport and coming soon, content from our new partner in Lakeville where community members have digitized handwritten town proceedings from the mid-19th century when the town was first petitioned.
