Collections

Veterinary Sciences resources can be found in the following branches:

• Most Veterinary Sciences resources are held in the Veterinary Sciences Library
  The Veterinary Sciences Library classmark scheme shows how the books and journals are arranged. Use the Library catalogue to find the classmark for an item.
• Many Veterinary Sciences resources are also held in the Medical Library
• Some useful resources - in the Biological Sciences Library

If you need an item which is not available anywhere in the library system here in print or online, you can use the Inter-Library Loans service to obtain it from another library. There is a charge for this service, though you may be able to obtain an Inter-library loan voucher to pay for this. See the information for undergraduates, postgraduates or academic staff for details of how to obtain these vouchers. Access to other university libraries and the British Library may be a useful alternative.

New books for the 'yellow-tape' 3-day loan collection shelved in the library office will be available for loan straight away. A list of these books will be available on the New Book Display shelf.
