You will need to login to view our online library resources, both on and off campus. Use your UTM Portal username and password, the same thing you use for Canvas, email, and Banner. If the troubleshooting tips below don't work, contact the UTM Help Desk at (731) 881-7900. The Help Desk is located in Crisp Hall.
