 Universal Borrowers’ Cards

RODP students residing in Tennessee may request a borrower’s card online from their home school library, for use at the nearest TBR or UT library.  In-state and out-of-state students may use an online interlibrary loan service to request books and other library materials from their home school’s library.

 Go to  The RODP Virtual Library "Library Card" page for online forms requesting an id, and information on borrowing privileges from the student’s nearest TBR or UT library.

Please note: An RODP student does not need a Universal Borrower's Card when accessing the student's home college library. The student can pick up a library card at the circulation desk of their home college campus library.
 

Interlibrary Loan Service

 The RODP Virtual Library arranges for document delivery from the student’s home institution.  A student may request materials found in any TBR or UT Library’s online catalog or found elsewhere. 

 See the RODP Virtual Library Online Catalog / ILL  page for additional information and the necessary online form to complete.

Reference Services

 RODP students receive library reference services via e-mail and a Web page.  Additionally RODP faculty can request Web Class Librarian assistance.

 Students may receive reference help from a combination of sources: 1) an RODP Virtual Library reference librarian, 2) a reference librarian at a nearby TBR institution, or 3) a reference librarian at the course instructor’s institution.  Reference services from these sources include e-mail, live chat, and phone support, including 800 numbers support at some TBR libraries.
