New from Special Collections and Projects: Maine Access to Inclusive Education Resources
The Special Collections and Projects Department in Fogler Library has added new records to the online archival content management tool ArchivesSpace.
Publications of the Maine Access to Inclusive Education Resources (formerly known as the Maine Autism Institute for Education & Research, or MAIER) are now available to researchers. The publications include copies of the Maine Parent Guide to Autism Spectrum Disorders, social narratives for trips, publicity material, various safety guides, and material for events. The digital files include copies of reports, newsletters, fliers for events, and conference material. MAIER was established in 2014 as a unique partnership between the Maine Department of Education Office of Special Services and Inclusive Education and the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development.

Among other features, this app allows you to quickly dial 9-1-1 or call local police departments, activate a “Mobile BlueLight” to send your location and a call to UMPD dispatchers, or chat with the UMPD police dispatchers. Functionality has been extended to include the Machias campus as well.

Database trial of SCOPUS November 11–December 10
We are pleased to announce a University of Maine system-wide trial of SCOPUS. SCOPUS is a subscription-based database from Elsevier that indexes peer-reviewed literature, including more than 97 million articles, books, conference proceedings, and preprints from 1788 to the present. It covers a wide range of disciplines, including science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities. Much like Web of Science, which we currently subscribe to, it can be used to perform searches of peer-reviewed materials, track the impact of your publications, and seek collaboration opportunities with fellow researchers. Journal title metrics include SNIP, SJR, and CiteScore; and author information includes Profiles, H-index, and publication lists. The database also has tools for tracking, analyzing, and visualizing research, as well as citation indexing.
We invite the UMaine community to investigate the SCOPUS database during a four week trial, from November 11–December 10, 2024. Starting Nov. 11, any UMaine Machias student, staff, or faculty member may access SCOPUS through the Library Database page for trials. After using SCOPUS, please tell us what you think on this feedback form.
More information about Scopus is available at their official product page and preview site. If you have questions about SCOPUS, reach out to your librarian.
