Purdue Libraries physical locations are now closed, except Hicks Undergrad Library, which is opened only for students who need internet access. The Veterinary Medical Library commons area is still accessible to the PVM community using swipe cards, but the service desk and stacks are closed.

However, the Veterinary Medical Library is “open” as an online library. Check the Veterinary Medical Library’s web page for these resources:
