Lamar Memorial Library

Welcome to the Lamar Memorial Library Overview

The Lamar Memorial Library prepares students for lives
of citizenship and leadership by serving as an intellectual
commons, providing information access, and teaching
research and information literacy skills.

Intellectual Commons
The library provides a welcoming physical and virtual space supporting academic success, scholarship, and research.  

Information Access
The library provides information resources supporting the Maryville College curriculum, success in Maryville College degree programs, and individual scholarship and research.

Research Assistance
The library, as an academic division, teaches research skills and information fluency, empowering our community to discover, access, evaluate and use information effectively and ethically.


Our Goals

“Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning.” (ACRL, 2016)   Students successfully completing a program of study at Maryville College will have achieved the following learning outcomes:  

  • Determine the nature and extent of the information needed.
  • Access needed information effectively and efficiently.
  • Evaluate information and its sources critically and incorporate selected information into their knowledge bases and values systems.
  • Use information effectively, individually or as members of a group, to accomplish a specific purpose.
  • Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information.
  • Access and use information ethically and legally.

Library Accounts and Overdue Materials

Each member of the Maryville College community has a library account. The library account allows students to check out physical library materials and keep track of items they have borrowed.

The Lamar Memorial Library does not charge late fees; however, borrowers are asked to keep their library account current by returning or renewing materials by the due date. Use the “My Library Account” link on the library’s home page to see what titles are checked out, when they are due, and how to renew them. Overdue materials must be renewed in person.

A bill for replacement and processing fees will be sent to any borrower who has one or more items that are two or more weeks overdue. Library notices are sent via Maryville College e-mail. Please contact the Circulation Coordinator by email or by telephone 865-981-8099 with questions about bills for library materials. Borrowers with overdue materials must clear their library account before they may borrow additional materials. Holds will be placed on registration and graduation for students who have outstanding bills for library materials at the end of each semester.

Should materials become lost, damaged, or stolen, please contact the Circulation Coordinator by email or by telephone at 865-981-8099 to discuss arrangements for replacement.
