Online Resources

Finding Articles - UTK Databases

Use databases to find articles or statistics. A good place to start is in the Social Work & Sociology Databases. Check also Academic Search Premier and InfoTrac OneFile, two very good general purpose databases.

Many articles will be available full text online. If you would like a copy of something that is not available online, go to ILLiad, our document delivery service, and request that it be sent to you.

Finding Statistics

You will also find many kinds of statistics in databases. But if you are looking for something that you cannot find, be sure to let me know. We have a Data Services librarian, who will be glad to help.

Social Work Subject Guide

With resources collected by Margaret Casado, the Social Work Librarian, this can be an important tool for Social Work research.

Course Reserves

Read about accessing course reserves here. Faculty can put their course reserves online (accessible from the Catalog) by sending their materials and/or reserve lists to: Hodges Library Reserve Dept.
Campus mail:220 Hodges Library
phone: 974-4121
fax: 974-0555
email: hodgesreserve@utk.edu
They will take care of making sure the materials are available for the students.

Scoop on Library Services

Faculty especially will find it useful to watch our short video series on individualized services offered by Hodges Library.

Books and Copies of Articles (Document Delivery)

Library Catalog

Use the UT Catalog to look for books, videos, or to see if we own certain journals. (Not journal articles; look for those in Databases.) For help on searching the catalog, follow along with the Finding Books Tutorial. Other tutorials are available from the main library homepage.

ILLiad

This is the document delivery service at UTK. When you need books or articles, this is the fastest and easiest way to get a copy of what you need.

Nearby Resources

There is a Social Work branch library in Nashville. Check their hours to see when they are open.

TALC Universal Borrower's Card

With this card, you will be able to borrow books from UT and TBR schools. Each school has its own rules, so check the TALC page for more information.
