Archives

The UMF Archives, located in the basement of Mallett Hall, collects materials related to the history of the University as well as faculty and alumni publications.  Patrons wishing to use archival materials may fill out the proper form at the Reference Desk. Please note that there is a three day waiting period for all requests. Archival materials do not circulate but must be used in the library.

Reserves

Course reserve materials are located at Access Services.  Items are placed on Course Reserve by faculty members who wish to ensure equal access to all students taking the course. For this reason, restrictions are placed on the circulation of Reserve items. Some, including all videos, must be used in the Library; others must be used in the library during the day, but may be taken out one hour before the Library closes; these must be returned within one hour of the Library’s opening on the following day. A few Reserve items may be taken out for one week. In the latter two cases, materials returned late are subject to overdue fines. If you have questions about how long a Reserve item may be used, please ask a staff person at the time you check the material out.

Please note: a student ID is required for ALL Reserve items, even those that do not leave the Library.

Periodicals

There are approximately 550 journals in our print collection, with thousands of additional titles available full-text online.  The current three years are shelved in alphabetical order by title in the Reference Area. Back issues of titles are kept either in microform or paper format. Check URSUS, our online catalog, for titles, holdings, and format of periodicals held by the Library. Articles in periodicals can be found by searching the online Indexes and Databases.

Newspapers

The most recent issues are kept in the Browsing Room. The current two months are located in the Periodicals Basement. Earlier issues of selected newspapers, such as The Franklin Journal, The New York Times, and the Portland Press Herald, are available on microfilm located in the Reference Area.

Media

An area located on the mezzanine where our audio cassettes, VHS tapes, compact discs, and DVDs are shelved. These materials can be checked out.  Also, this area houses our VHS tape and DVD viewing equipment and a media viewing room that seats 6-8 people and may be scheduled by class groups or campus organizations to view DVDs or VHS tapes.  Contact froberts@maine.edu three days in advance to book a time.  To view the room schedule, see the online calendar.
