Veterinary Technology library resources: Home

Library resources for online Veterinary Technology students. We'll also be thinking of this as veterinary nursing.

Search for articles

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! )

Web of Science

Zoological Record

 

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.

eJournals -- Open Access journals

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?

Books and ebooks

AppState Online students can request that physical books be mailed to them.  But we're mostly buying ebooks for this program.

Reference Books

(July 2022 -- possibly Plumb's Veterinary Drugs?)

Exam Prep -- We can buy more as graduation dates approach.  Also see VTNE list.

Other new or requested books -- 2022

Other useful resources -- Open Access

Open veterinary anatomy resources -- coming soon

Purdue, Michigan State, and Colorado State have library guides for Veterinary Nursing (that I'll be looking at).

Some of our current journals, that we subscribe to now

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

Movies, pleasure reading, other

Be sure to look at our movie collections and more.

Video? OER?

Would these be useful?  We could possibly get a brief trial to look at this collection of videos.  Look at titles.  We do not have current access.
