Searching for Books and Periodicals

There are two modes for searching MWWC Resources: the UNE Libraries Catalog for books and periodicals, and the Finding Aid for manuscript material.

How to use the UNE Libraries Catalog to find MWWC resources

To search items in the UNE catalog, follow this link to the OPAC.  This will take you to UNE's online public access catalog where you can search by keyword, author, title or subject. This catalog includes books and periodicals held the entire university. 

To limit your search to the Maine Women Writers Collection holdings, use the "modify search" button at the top of your search results page. In the location field, scroll down to "Portland Campus Maine Women Writers Collection" and click the "submit" button. This will give you the MWWC holdings for your search.
