UT/TBR Libraries' Reciprocal Borrowing Program

We now have a state-wide reciprocal borrowing system open to students of any public two- or four-year institution.

You will be able to enter any participating library and borrow books. The terms (how long you can check out materials, how many books at a time, fines, etc.) will be determined by the institution.

To get started, you need to:

  • Be currently enrolled at UTK or employed as a faculty or staff member at UTK
  • Complete the registration form (available through Distance Education Services, in addition to other spots) and obtain a UT/TBR library borrower's card with an authorized signature
  • Present the card at the circulation desk of the participating library for registration in their database and for notification of borrowing policies

These conditions apply:

  • There is no fee
  • The borrowing regulations are determined by each library
  • You are respnsible for returning the materials you check out
  • Reimbursement is the individual's responsibility to the library or, if defaulting on charges, to UTK Libraries
  • Borrowing privileges expire on the date set by the UTK Libraries, usually the end of the current semester

Please visit the TALC page to read more about the participating libraries and their current policies. If you decide that a card will be useful to you, the registration form is available online. We can also fax a copy of the form to you if you have a fax machine available, or mail a copy of the form to you if you don't want to use fax.
