In most cases, we can either recall the book from the current borrower, or place a hold on that book for you. The library can place a search on that item, and notify you when it is found. The Circulation Department can only place holds or recalls on books which are currently checked out. Library Express can retrieve and deliver books for UTK faculty, staff and graduate students. The library does not release the names of borrowers, unless authorized by the borrower.
Forms are available at the Main Circulation Desk.
Frequently Asked Questions Recalls Any circulating book, except those on Reserve, may be recalled if it is needed by another borrower. Only UTK borrowers may place recalls. Books needed for Reserve are subject to immediate recall. When a recall is placed, the loan period is reduced, and the book is made due ten days from the day the recall is placed. Books due in less than ten days may not be recalled, but may have holds placed on them.
