The Maine State Library provides Digital Maine Library (DML), https://library.digitalmaine.org/, a platform that promotes lifelong learning, enhances economic development, and improves the quality of life for Mainers of all ages. DML provides access to thousands of magazines, newspapers, references, and many other useful resources, all available at no charge to Maine residents. There's something for everyone on DML, from young kids to adults, job seekers to hobbyists, entrepreneurs to genealogists. There are also many excellent resources for librarians to use daily in their jobs.
DML has recently undergone a renovation due to a Request for Proposals (RFP) process as required by the State of Maine. As a result of the RFP, DML has transitioned away from Gale resources to a robust EBSCO package of resources. Some of DML's stand alone resources will also change as a result of an upcoming additional RFP process. This LibGuide will include updates to the changes as well as talking points for patrons. It will also provide training opportunities and promotional materials to help librarians and educators learn about the new resources and share them with their patrons and students.
These EBSCO resources are now available statewide in Digital Maine Library. When available, the database name links to the full title list as indicated by blue text (title lists are subject to change).
Training and promotional materials for all of these EBSCO resources can be found at https://dmlsupport.stacksplatform.com/.
Digital Maine Library has so many great resources! Please spread the word in your communities and to your partners with these resources. Don't see something you need? Please contact us! beth.crist@maine.gov.
