In the Classroom

Classroom Instruction

Need a library orientation or have a library workshop for your class? Classes can be tailored to address specific assignments.

Placing Items on Reserve

Place books, copies of articles, and other material (from the Library collection or your own collection) on exclusive reserve for your class. Includes material in print, as well as electronic reserves. Please read the Reserve Submission Guidelines

Recommendations for Purchase of Materials

Material recommendations for instruction or research can be submitted online. Please note that the USM Library does not purchase required textbooks for the collection. Recommendations will be forwarded to a librarian with collection development responsibilities in that subject area for consideration. NOTE: Ordering and processing materials takes time -- please allow at least 6 weeks lead time.

Research

Ask a Librarian

Librarians can provide research assistance by instant messenger, email, phone, or in person. Each librarian has subject expertise to meet your information needs.

MaineCat

Can't find the book you need in URSUS? Through MaineCat, you can request books from all over the state from both public and private libraries directly, and pick them up at the Library, usually within 3-5 days (Monday-Friday)

Interlibrary Loan

Still can't find what your need? Through interlibrary loan, the Library can get almost any resource you need, including copies of journal articles, books, and dissertations.

Library Liaison Program

The Library Liaison Program is designed to facilitate communication and foster collaboration between the Libraries and the University of Southern Maine community
