Database trial of SCOPUS November 11–December 10
We are pleased to announce a University of Maine system-wide trial of SCOPUS. SCOPUS is a subscription-based database from Elsevier that indexes peer-reviewed literature, including more than 97 million articles, books, conference proceedings, and preprints from 1788 to the present. It covers a wide range of disciplines, including science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities. Much like Web of Science, which we currently subscribe to, it can be used to perform searches of peer-reviewed materials, track the impact of your publications, and seek collaboration opportunities with fellow researchers. Journal title metrics include SNIP, SJR, and CiteScore; and author information includes Profiles, H-index, and publication lists. The database also has tools for tracking, analyzing, and visualizing research, as well as citation indexing.
We invite the UMaine community to investigate the SCOPUS database during a four week trial, from November 11–December 10, 2024. Starting Nov. 11, any UMaine student, staff, or faculty member may access SCOPUS through the Library Database page for trials. After using SCOPUS, please tell us what you think on this feedback form.
More information about Scopus is available at their official product page and preview site. If you have questions about SCOPUS, reach out to your subject specialist librarian.

Citation drop-in sessions
Fogler’s Research & Instruction Department is holding drop-in citation sessions to offer assistance to students needing help with formulating citations for projects or papers. We can help with any citation style (APA, CSE, Chicago, et. al.) The two sessions, Nov. 19 and Nov. 20, run from 4–5 p.m. in Library Classroom 2, and students can just drop by during the hour for assistance.

Featured resource: Oxford Dictionary of the Middle Ages
The Oxford Dictionary of the Middle Ages covers all key aspects of European history, society, and culture from 500 to 1500 A.D., as well as the Byzantine Empire, Islamic dynasties, and Asiatic peoples of the era. It is designed both for medievalists, who need a detailed and reliable reference tool, and for students and general readers seeking an accessible guide to the period. Over 800 scholars have assembled thousands of comprehensive entries, supplemented by hundreds of illustrations and dozens of maps.
