Library Collections

The general collection of books and journals encompasses veterinary medicine, basic biomedical sciences, and selected works in clinical medicine. The Veterinary Medical Library subscribes to over 500 journals, has access to over 90,000 electronic journals via K-State's Libraries system, and strives to maintain comprehensive coverage of English-language veterinary medical titles. This core collection is supplemented with key resources from human medicine and additional subject areas that reflect faculty research interests, expertise, and teaching needs. New journal issues are shelved via the Library of Congress call number system within our Stacks location.

The library maintains a dynamic and relevant book collection through several acquisition strategies. All veterinary medical titles from major U.S. publishers are received automatically, and the collection includes human medical works recommended for small medical libraries. Faculty requests and recommendations, reviewed by the College of Veterinary Medicine Library Committee, also help guide new purchases. While new books are no longer displayed weekly, the library now features a monthly rotating exhibit, Vet Med on a Theme, highlighting selected titles and topics of current interest.
