Mission: Fostering excellence in education, research, and the community well-being by providing outstanding resources, services, instruction, and outreach initiatives.
Any person may visit the Veterinary Medicine Library and use materials, databases, and resources on-site. Due to licensing restrictions, the electronic resources are not accessible by non-School of Veterinary Medicine users outside of the library.
