Resource of the Month

Each month, the Reference Librarians at the Maine State Library describe a printed resource that they find particularly useful. Often, a brief annotated list of web sites on the same topic is also included.

Currently Featured Resource

We have included an archive of all previous months (unless they have been replaced by updated versions), listed by date. You may also use the Find feature of your browser to search for previous titles. (Example: Edit > Find: weather)

We hope that this archive will lead you to resources that are interesting and useful, and perhaps new to you as well.
