The library is everywhere you are. Research assistance (lib.utk.edu/askusnow) is available by walk-in, e-mail, phone, chat and text, and by appointment with the librarian who specializes in your discipline (lib.utk.edu/librarians). The UT Libraries holds 3.6 million print volumes and provides access to a vast collection of electronic journals, books, and media. Even when you are not on campus or at the library, we are available to answer questions and help you find the resources you need. 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.

The John C. Hodges Library in the heart of campus houses the majority of the UT Libraries’ collections and many unique services. In the Commons, on the second floor of Hodges Library, students can get help with research, writing, and academic support, as well as access to technology. Students may check out equipment such as laptops and cameras, use group study rooms, attend online classes, create videos or multimedia projects in the Studio, use a Practice Presentation Room, or visit the coffee shop and convenience store. Explore the University Libraries’ outstanding spaces at lib.utk.edu/spaces. Visit lib.utk.edu/hours for the hours of library branches. departments, and online support.

Two branch libraries offer specialized collections, spaces, and services: the Webster C. Pendergrass Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine Library on the Agriculture Campus and the George F. DeVine Music Library in the Natalie L. Haslam Music Center. Other unique collections available to students include Special Collections (manuscripts and rare books) in Hodges Library and online digitized collections of some of the library’s unique holdings at digital.lib.utk.edu.

The UT Libraries creates community with its inviting spaces and through hosting events such as the Lunch and Learn series on diversity and inclusion. Connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube (@utklibraries) to learn about library events, services, and resources.
