We have moved to two new catalog systems. To find up-to-date information,
please visit one of the new catalogs or go to your home library’s website to learn more:
Catalog for the Dirigo Libraries
Catalog for the University of Maine System Libraries

The online catalogs of UMSL and Dirigo library systems also serve as a gateway to digital resources, both those available generally in Maine and those licensed for use only by patrons of its constituent libraries.

Various user groups, such as Circulation and Cataloging, meet throughout the year. These forums are used to discuss issues, define best practices, exchange ideas, and provide training.  Maine InfoNet and member libraries also provide technical, administrative, and financial services to URSUS.

Benefits to Libraries

• Cutting-edge library technology
  Libraries share integrated, automated library systems. The systems support circulation, overdues, cataloging with database maintenance and authority control, serials management, acquisitions, and statistical reporting.
• On-going technical support
  Staff at Maine InfoNet provide technical support and assistance to these libraries. Technical support is centralized and all hardware maintenance, backup, and general operational activities are handled at the central site, rather than in each member library.
• A Library without walls
  The catalogs provides access to not only books but also DVDs, audiobooks, magazines, music CDs, physical items, virtual electronic materials, games, and much more.
• ILL and Delivery
• Cooperative Collection Development
