UT’s best kept secret for offering services to students seems to be Hodges

Library. Hodges Library is centrally located on campus, so students who

live on campus will always be in walking distance to the facility. From the

new UT Book and Supply Store to the Evening School offering programs to

help students, the library has something for everyone.

The library has a 24-hour study room located on the second floor, adjacent

to the bookstore. This location is great, since the only room in the

library where food and drink are allowed is the 24-hour study room. On the

upper level floors, there are study rooms available also, in addition to

graduate carrels for studying and doing research. On the bottom floor of

the library is a computer lab. So, if the computers are not available in

your residence hall, or you live off campus and do not have a computer, you

can get that paper typed on one of the computers in the library computer

lab. If you have free time, after you have finished your homework, you can

view a movie in the audiovisual center on the second floor. The audiovisual

center is overflowing with movies to watch on a variety of topics. All you

need is your student identification card and some time.

Besides the features listed above, the library has a duplication center

located on the first floor. Many students do not know the duplication

center exists, you can tell by the interminable lines at the copy machines

in the reserve room. If the lines are long, go to the duplication center;

more than likely, there will be a vacant copier.

The library’s auditorium is a great place for student organizations to have

a program. Located on the first floor, next to the duplication center, the

auditorium has proven to be an excellent setting for lectures and

debates.

Stacked with six floors, the Hodges Library can offer something for every

student. Whether it is a book, a candy bar or a computer, the library has

it.
