Welcome to the Paul Meek Library!

Mary Carpenter

Library Director

"Welcome colleague!  Welcome to UT Martin and most especially the Paul Meek Library.  Hopefully, you will find the library to be a vital partner toward a successful educational experience for your students.  We also strive to be a resource for your own research needs.  Please don’t forget us as a place to gather for a cup of coffee, a quiet place to grade papers, simply study or reflect on university life." - Mary Carpenter

 

Library Instruction

The Library has a Library Instruction Room which seats 24 individuals. This room can be scheduled on a first-come basis if you would like for your students to receive formal instruction in learning to use the library. There is a form to request a session on the Library Instruction page.

Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) acquires, for research or study purposes, materials from other libraries which are not available in the UTM Library. These items may be sent on loan, as photocopies, or in microformat. Paper request forms are available at the Interlibrary Loan Office. They are also available at the library's Reference Desk. Electronic interlibrary loan request forms are also available. (click here)

Course Reserves
Online course reserves are handled through Blackboard. If you need assistance with course reserves on Blackboard you can contact The ITC (7877) or Sam Richardson (7061).

 

LibX Extension for Firefox
This firefox extension will show a link to our catalog any time you are surfing and find something that might be available in the Library. For example, if you come across an ISBN it will automatically make a link to search our catalog for that ISBN. It will add an icon to various sites like Barnes and Noble or Amazon that will link to our catalog. It also adds an optional toolbar to search our catalog. You can download it here.

An Internet Explorer version is in the works, but we at the Library recommend you use Firefox for a better and safer web browsing experience.
