Most of the veterinary literature is in the form of journal articles. Often it is synthesized (so made more immediately useful) in books and in review articles.
Tools to use for search
APPsearch (APPsearch is the default search on Library main page.)
PubMed (link through Library, though it exists independently also. You'll need that after you graduate!)
Google Scholar (link through Library, though obviously it exists independently also. You'll need that after you graduate! )
Content
Lots of current peer-reviewed journals. Usually, it's best to access through search.
Possibly in near future
possibly, CABI VetMed Resource, or others identified with Vet Tech faculty
NAVTA journal -- NAVTA journal is not available to libraries, but consider becoming a student member.
Almost all of our journals and electronic resources are available online to the entire AppState community. We're mostly buying ebooks for programs with many "distance" students.
But we do have additional services for you. As an "AppState Online" student, you may have physical books mailed to you. Click the Request button in the Library Catalog to trigger this.
Also, you might occasionally find an old article that we only have in paper volumes. You can request that these articles be scanned and emailed to you. Use our ILLiad system.
Also, everyone can use ILLiad in general to request articles, books, and theses that we do not have immediate access to. ILLiad is our InterLibrary "Loan" service. It's generally 24-48 hours for articles.
Also, contact me as needed. wiswellj@appstate.edu
In general, you should search for open access articles on your topic in the same way you search in the rest of the literature. However, these several OA journals might be useful for browsing. What is AVMA publishing this month?
AppState Online students can request that physical books be mailed to them. But we're mostly buying ebooks for this program.

Purdue, Michigan State, and Colorado State have library guides for Veterinary Nursing (that I'll be looking at).
These journals, and others, can be accessed individually. But usually you will search in your favorite search interfaces and link easily to articles from a variety of publishers.
Favorite search interfaces: APPsearch, PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science
