In Hodges campus phones are located in the 2nd floor study room and in the computer lab on the ground floor. A telephone in the 2nd floor study area is at wheelchair height. Study carrels are desks located around the perimeter of Hodges stack floors 3-6. Carrels are assigned to graduate students currently engaged in research, but when unoccupied may be used by anyone. Faculty studies are available for the use of UTK faculty who need frequent access to research materials located in the Libraries.
Assignment is made based on application .
Food and drink attract cockroaches, rodents, and other pests that feed on books and papers, thus endangering the Libraries' collections. Insect and rodent infestations also make it unpleasant to study in the library. Spilled liquids damage volumes and greasy hands transfer fingerprints and food residue to pages. For these reasons, the consumption of food and drink in Hodges is restricted to the 2nd floor study area only. I'm not a UTK student or faculty member.
