Life of the Mind 2008

 

The University of Tennessee Libraries are pleased to provide information resources and assistance to all participants in the 2008 Life of the Mind reading program. As the primary research library in Tennessee, take time to get acquainted with us and the services we offer. Begin now by exploring our web pages and when you arrive on campus, visit us. Browse our collection of books, magazines, and videos. Be sure to see our new Commons area, located on the second floor of Hodges Library, with over 130 computers, laptops available for checkout, group study space, and more.

As you read this year's book selection, A Long Way Gone, you are not just reading a book, you are starting your UT career. If you have questions about the book, author Ishmael Beah, the Life of the Mind program, or any other topic, University of Tennessee librarians can help. For all of the advances in digital technology, librarians are still the ultimate search engine. There are several ways you can reach us over the summer (and on campus after you arrive) from wherever you are.

    Call us at the Hodges Library Reference Desk at 865-974-4171.
    Send your questions or comments to our e-mail reference service.
