Getting Started with Agriculture Research

Your key to checking out any material at the libraries is your VolCard. To check out a book, bring it to the public service desk and a librarian can assist you.

Our self-paced tutorials will help you learn about using library resources, evaluating information, plagiarism, and more.

Collecting a vast amount of discipline specific (or even course specific) resources, research guides organize the top databases and credible websites for different areas of study in one place.

One of the fastest ways to get help is by chatting in with the Libraries. By using the Chat feature you can get immediate help with research or questions about the library. You can also text your questions to the library at 865-940-0821.

UT Libraries has librarians that specialize in specific disciplines and fields of study. They’re a great resource for learning what is out there and navigating information. You can email them with questions or request a one-on-one meeting to get specialized library help. The subject specialist librarian for Herbert College of Agriculture is Maggie Albro, whose contact information is on the sidebar of this page.
