Salon event next Monday: Artificial Intelligence in Business: Disruption, Opportunity, or Both?
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we live and work — and business is at the center of the storm. From automation and data analysis to marketing and customer service, AI tools are evolving faster than many companies can keep up. So what does this mean for the future of business?
Is AI a powerful tool for innovation and growth? Or a disruptive force with serious risks? Or both?
Join UMaine Libraries in person or via Zoom on Monday, May 12 at 5 p.m. for a dynamic Salon Series panel discussion that will explore the many sides of AI in the business world. Learn how organizations are already integrating AI, what ethical concerns are emerging, and how small businesses and entrepreneurs can navigate this rapidly changing landscape.

Fogler Library celebrates Maine Day of Service with a morning of gardening!
Last Wednesday was the annual Maine Day of Service, and Fogler Library celebrated by organizing work teams to help clean up and beautify the gardens around the east entrance of the library. Members of the library staff were joined by staff from other UMaine departments, faculty, donors, and a number of students including a group of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity brothers and members of the Fencing Club. Volunteers pulled weeds; raked many, many leaves; picked up stray refuse; and planted pansies around the bench donated by the late Professor Irv Kornfield. We hope to make this a new Maine Day tradition for Fogler. Thank you to everyone who made a positive impact on the outside of our building!

Campus tour hosted by Intro to Public History students
Last Friday, students in the University of Maine’s spring 2025 “Intro to Public History” course led two UMaine History Trail walking tours. The walking tour visited nine temporary historical markers throughout campus that the students had researched and placed. Each marker focuses on UMaine’s past and its legacy, including ones for the Bear’s Den pubs, the Hudson Museum, campus violence and activism, Stevens Hall in 1925, the Oak Hall dormitories, Fernald Hall in 1870, western Indigenous land, the Morrill Act from 1862, and a Virtual Scrapbook project.
The students also have an exhibit featuring items from the University Archive in the lobby of Fogler Library that faces the Mall.
