Subject guides
Databases and a selection of library materials and Web resources for research by topic.
For help, call the Reference department at 865-215-8700 at Lawson McGhee Library during regular business hours.
How subject guides are arranged
Navigate by the list of topics to the left or below. In subjects with subtopics, the top level subject displays only a few selected resources; use the subtopic links to find more for deeper research.
The format tabs arrange resources into shorter lists; some may be in a "featured" list and the rest are organized more or less by the kind of resource. There might be another format indication in the description of a resource. For example, under the Magazines tab, links may take you to the catalog record for a magazine we have in print in the library, a magazine within a database, a magazine's website, or a downloadable magazine.

What if you want something smaller in scope, more immediately intense, a complete story that requires less of your time? Check out these collections of short stories for and about teens.
