Spring 2025

How to Request Instruction

We ask all faculty and instructors interested in instruction for Spring 2025 to fill out the following form by Monday, January 21, 2025 to plan for and schedule your sessions. Due to the limited size of the space in Special Collections, we are only able to accommodate a maximum of 15-20 individuals for each session. If you have more than 20 students, please note that in the form, and a staff member will be in touch to help determine a solution.

We will do our best to accommodate your choice of date and time, but please understand that we may not be able to guarantee your preferences. Special Collections staff will work with you to select materials for your session, however certain materials could be unavailable at this time due to preservation concerns. Course instructors are expected to attend the sessions with their classes.

English 102

Due to the volume of English 102 instruction, Special Collections is unable to accommodate in person instruction or use of physical materials.  Please see our Digital Teaching Collections LibGuide for detailed information on using our digital collections as well as tutorials on how to search the digital collections and how to cite research items.  In addition, UTK Libraries offer a wealth of databases that feature primary sources on every conceivable topic. Please do not hesitate to ask Library instructors to help you find those resources that provide the best fit.
