Update from the Veterinary Medical Library

Purdue Veterinary Medicine's Continuum Sculpture

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:

Note that the Libraries are extending due dates for all currently loaned items and will not charging overdue fines. We recommend that you keep any library materials you have in your possession for the time being.

If you need help with literature searching (or anything else Libraries-related), you may email vetmlib@purdue.edu, or contact Librarian Jane Yatcilla (janeyat@purdue.edu), who is working with library clients by email, WebEx, or phone.
