The library is everywhere you are. Research assistance is available by walk-in, e-mail, chat, phone, and by appointment with the subject librarian who specializes in your discipline. The UT Libraries holds 3.3 million print volumes but places a high priority on providing access to electronic resources. Visit library.utk.edu to chat with a librarian, find books and electronic resources, watch a video tutorial about using the library, or connect with us on social media.

Experts in each library offer help and assistance in using the library for research. AskUsNow! (www.lib.utk.edu/refs/askusnow/) provides e-mail, IM (instant message), and telephone connections to librarians. Students will find a wide variety of materials and services in the main library (John C. Hodges Library), three branches on the Knoxville campus (Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine Library, Music Library, and Special Collections), and the Social Work Library in Nashville.

Students can search the library catalog and hundreds of databases at any library location – and through the UT Libraries’ website. Interlibrary Services is available to help students find and retrieve materials that are not available in the UT Libraries. Workshops and classes are offered throughout the semester to help students learn how to get the most out of the Libraries’ services. The services and facilities of the UT Libraries are accessible to persons with disabilities.

The John C. Hodges Library in the heart of campus houses the majority of the UT Libraries’ collections and many unique services. The technology-rich Commons, which comprises the entire second floor of Hodges Library, is a popular gathering place for students, for both studying and socializing. The Commons brings together all the tools students need to succeed: technology, research assistance, advising services, and even a coffee shop. At the Commons, students can check out equipment such as laptops and cameras, work collaboratively in group study rooms, create videos or multimedia projects in the Studio, or get help at the Writing Center, Math Tutorial Center, and Student Success Center. During the semester the Hodges Library remains open 24 hours, five nights a week..

The Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine Library (Room A-113, Veterinary Teaching Hospital) has a strong collection in agriculture; veterinary, comparative and human medicine; environmental studies and biodiversity; and related biological sciences.

The Music Library will relocate temporarily during construction of a new Music Building. The Music Library has a comprehensive collection of music and music literature, including books, scores, audio and video recordings, current periodicals, and microfilm. Most materials in the Library of Congress “M” classification are located here.

Special Collections is dedicated to building collections of manuscripts, rare books, and other unique research materials. Collection strengths include Tennessee authors, Tennessee history and politics, Oak Ridge, and TVA. The Great Smoky Mountains Regional Collection is an ongoing effort to collect and preserve materials on the region. Students are welcome to use Special Collections. Materials from Special Collections cannot be checked out but may be used on site.

The Libraries maintain the university’s Archives. The Archives, housed in Hoskins Library, contain official records of the university; items published by its units, departments, and agencies; and materials that document University of Tennessee life.

The Social Work Library (Room 292, 193-E Polk Ave., Nashville) serves College of Social Work students in field practice across the state. The library has a working collection of materials in social work and related disciplines.

Students and faculty may use the libraries at any of the University of Tennessee campuses across the state.
