Good morning,
We have completed the migration to the new Britannica school web site on Marvel as of late yesterday afternoon. Any links you may have set up locally should continue to work. All user accounts and work space info have been transferred over to the new web site. Please take a few minutes to make sure your access, logins, saved info, etc are ok before the start of the new academic year. Should there be anything that is not working, please report it to http://libraries.maine.edu/mainedatabases/contact.asp
Training webinars are still available through mid October. For more information, go to
