Using the Online Catalog (URSUS)

Materials collected by the Law Library are included in URSUS, the shared University of Maine System library system. We recommend that you limit your search location to our collection by selecting “University of Maine School of Law” from the drop-down menu.

URSUS searches the cataloged material of most of the major libraries in Maine, including the University of Maine System & Law and Legislative Reference Library. Read “How to Use URSUS” or watch “How to Search URSUS“.
