Our services

We offer a range of services designed to support your everyday work in practice whilst helping you keep up to date with the latest clinical research. 

Article requests

We can supply photocopies from journals, conference proceedings, reports and books, subject to copyright law, for private study or research. Copies are supplied by email. 

If we don’t have the material you need in our Library, we will try and obtain it for you from another library via our interlibrary loan service.

Literature searches

If you are short of time or having difficulty finding information we can carry out a literature search for you. We will then send you a list of references.

Subject alerts

To help you keep up-to-date with the latest information we can supply quarterly current awareness alerts tailored to our specific requirements on a range of subjects, such as veterinary dentistry and veterinary cardiology.

Alerts are sent out in January, April, July and October and contain details of all the articles published on your chosen subject in the previous three months.

For more information or if you would like to sign up for the service, contact us on 020 7202 0752 or email library@rcvsknowlege.org
