Featured Resource: Maine Town Reports
Full-text searchable reports from forty-two towns are available. The ongoing project currently represents a range of geographic, cultural and business interests across all sixteen counties in the state. The focus has been on the earliest reports published up through 1950. The Maine Town Reports Digital Project is a collaboration between Fogler Library and the Maine State Library.
1. Including Information Literacy Curriculum in Your Courses
As you prepare for next semester, you may want to include information literacy skill building into your curriculum, as appropriate for your discipline. Fogler Reference Librarians are able to assist with identifying concepts and designing assignments, as well as provide instruction in this area. Contact your subject librarian if you would like to discuss this.

Celebrate the winter season and the worldwide Hour of Code at Fogler Library. In this introductory, hands-on workshop, learn how to use the programming language Python to draw snowflakes on your screen.
No previous coding experience required. Children are welcome to attend if accompanied by an adult. We recommend bringing fully charged laptops, with Python already installed. Laptops will be available for attendees who need to borrow one.
