Use the "My Account" feature to renew books and keep track of items pinned from OneSearch: https://libanswers.utk.edu/faq/206395
Many databases will offer citation export. This is a handy feature when dealing with a large number of items, but make sure to double check the formatting: https://tiny.utk.edu/owl
Investigate the "recall" feature if a physical item that you need is checked out. (N.B. the other user has ten days to return the item, so make an ILS request if you need something more quickly): https://libanswers.utk.edu/faq/110102
If you are trying to access an ebook, but the item is "in use," simply wait for a few minutes and try again.
