Maine Business, Science & Technology Library (MBSTL)

Welcome to the Maine Business, Science & Technology Library.

As the state's designated research library for business, science and technology, the librarians at Fogler Library have compiled a series of resources to support the people of Maine in those areas. We’ve carefully selected and curated these resources into a variety of subject areas. Each subject area contains links to websites and articles relevant to that field. If you’d like to learn more about why we chose the resources we did, go to our Mission Statement and Selection Criteria page.

The University of Maine at Machias Sororities - PTP, KAK, and ESA - will hold a Valentine's Dance on Saturday, February 10, 2024 in the Student Union in the Reynolds Center from 7-10pm. All are welcome to attend.
