Finding Books

How to find books

  • Reference collection: SF600-900 veterinary medicine--beyond second set of double doors in the library towards the river to right.

  • Fletch's list: books for ABLE & Clinics

  • Catalog/shelves
    • quick search of the catalog by subject: always qualify your search with the word veterinary.  Examples:  [veterinary ophthalmology] or [veterinary anatomy].   Searching only for the word [ophthalmology] will retrieve too many because it will contain both human and veterinary medical texts.
    • search for or [author and keyword].  Explanation:  If you know one author and a couple of keywords, you can find the book.  Examples:  You are referred to the Bojrab's surgery text.  Search for [bojrab surgery].  You need to find Smith's internal medicine textbook.  Search for [smith internal medicine] or [smith internal medicine large animal].
    • browse the shelves using the LC outline

  • Requesting books: If the book you want is checked out, you can request it if you are logged in to My Account in the catalog (in the upper right-hand corner). If you need it urgently, you can ask at the desk and hope that the borrower authorized the release of their info.
  • Interlibrary loan: If the book you want is not in our collection, you can request it using interlibrary loan.
