Congratulations to everyone graduating on Saturday! It’s the time of year when we start getting questions about access to the Library’s resources post-graduation.
After graduation, if you plan to be in the Farmington area this summer or beyond, please feel free to stop in to the library with a photo ID to sign up for a community library card. We would love to help you with your borrowing needs.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need help with anything of this.
Interlibrary Loan:
Any graduates who transition to community member library cards will still enjoy access to our full suite of interlibrary loan services through URSUS, MaineCat, and ILLiad.Physical resources (Books, DVDs, CDs):
Community members have borrowing privileges for most of our physical collection (everything except Reserves and IT equipment).Online Resources:
For community members, access to UMF's electronic resources such as journal article databases, streaming videos, and certain ebooks (such as those in Ebook Central) is available in-person at the library. Every Maine resident also has access to database content through the statewide Digital Maine Library. Community members with current library cards may also borrow ebooks and audiobooks through cloudLibrary.Please let us know if you have any questions or need help with anything of this.
Graduates: Congratulations on all of your accomplishments during your time at UMF; we are very proud of you! 🎓👏🎉
