VetMed Resource Trial

The Pumerantz Library has arranged for a 30 day trial to CABI'S VetMed Resource. The trial will be available until September 30th.

VetMed Resource was created in response to demand from veterinarians, veterinary associations and schools, and information specialists. It is designed to be a single comprehensive resource containing all of CABI's veterinary information to provide ideal support for veterinary continuing education. An online demo is also available.

VetMed Resource’s unique features:

• The bibliographic database includes records from CAB Abstracts from 1972 and is updated weekly
• Full text documents available include conference papers, journal articles and bulletins
• Breaking news updates, news articles covering current topics and an events calendar
• CAB Reviews: specially commissioned, peer reviewed review articles written by specialists in their field
• The Animal Health and Production Compendium which includes over 2000 pictures, drug database, glossary, food safety module, parasite identification keys, and detailed coverage of health and production topics.

Pumerantz Library @ WesternU Prospective Student Day

Two of the reference librarians worked a booth at the August 28th Preview Day. We had the opportunity to interact with at least 75 - 100 potential students and their families and were able to tell them about some of the library's services. The main questions we had were the hours of the library and how we could help them when they became students here at WesternU.

Overall it was a great experience and we look forward to working the Preview Day again on February 19, 2011.
