Borrowing and Requests

Borrow items from the library, and renew the items you have checked out!

Students, faculty, and staff within the University of Tennessee system (UT Chattanooga, UT Martin, UT Memphis, and UT institutes) may check out books, periodicals, and media using their valid university IDs. Privileges and loan periods for UT System affiliates are the same as those for UT Knoxville. Resource Sharing is NOT available for Non-UTK members. You will need to consult with your parent institution for Resource Sharing requests. All UT affiliates and members of the community are welcome to find books in the library and scan portions of the item in Commons South.

Place items on course reserve. Make materials available for your students!

Faculty studies are available for UTK faculty members who need to gather and hold research materials in the library. Faculty studies may be renewed annually.
