Document Delivery Services of the UT Libraries

 Library Express

Library Express delivers books and bound periodicals to UTK campus users at designated campus locations. Library Express also retrieves books from departmental offices and returns them to the library.There is no charge for the delivery and pick-up of items. Photocopies can be made of articles found in UTK owned journals (for a fee).

The UT Libraries began the Library Express unit in 1993, and the LX staff now fills over 30,000 requests per year.

To qualify for Library Express service, one must be a valid UTK graduate student, faculty or staff member. All users must be currently registered in the Libraries' database and have no outstanding fines or delinquencies.

Undergraduates enrolled in certain programs are eligible for Library Express service after arrangements have been made. To use LX, these special undergraduates must arrange to have a designated mailbox within their college of their study. Deliveries cannot be made to dorms or off-campus sites.

A possible area of expansion that has been explored is Library Express for undergraduates.
