Loan Policies

In some instances, special permission may be given for users to take materials for copying within the library.
Guides/Finding Aids
Subject Index: A finding aid of great importance is the Subject Index, which indexes chapter or sections of a book. Because material on Tennessee subjects is so limited, this index has proven to be an excellent guide.
Name Index: When the location of a person or family is unknown, this index is an excellent location tool with entries in alphabetical order.
