            URSUS (University Resources Serving Users Statewide)  is  an
            information   system  based  on  the  Innovative  Interfaces
            Software (INNOPAC). The system provides access to the  union
            catalog  for the seven University of Maine System libraries,
            and other particiapting libraries. The Maine State  Library,
            the  Maine  State Law and Legislative Reference Library, and
            the Bangor Public Library are participating  libraries.  The
            union  catalog  currently contains 1.2 million bibliographic
            records, representing approximately 90% of the  total  hold-
            ings of the participants.

            URSUS is the gateway to other information resources  on  the
            system including the Maine Union List of Serials, periodical
            indexes, other library catalogs, and locally  mounted  data-
            bases.
