Where do I find the fiction and nonfiction sections in the library?
Last Updated: Mar 05, 2024     Views: 68

We are not set up like a school or public library, so fiction and non-fiction are not clearly separated. USM uses the Library of Congress cataloging system and most of our fiction books will be in the P section of the libraries: Portland - 4th floor, Gorham - 2nd floor, and Lewiston-Auburn 1st floor.

Non-fiction books are found throughout the collection.

Use our catalog, URSUS, to do an online search. In Advanced Search, you can set limits such as publication dates and material type, for example book or ebook. Please contact a staff member if you need further assistance.
