BSAVA celebrates fifth anniversary of digital library
The BSAVA Library was launched in 2018 to meet the demand for online veterinary content.
The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) is celebrating the fifth anniversary of the BSAVA Library. To mark the event, it has published a free collection of some of the most popular resources which illustrate topics that are at the forefront of veterinary medicine.
The digital library was launched in 2018 to meet the demand for online veterinary content, and includes more than 9,000 BSAVA resources such as companion articles, clinical videos, scientific documents and webinars.
The library is used by BSAVA members, practices and universities around the world. It has seen in excess of 430,000 logins, over 7.7 million content views and just under one million full text downloads.
BSAVA are planning to develop the digital library further, and are inviting the veterinary profession to provide feedback.
Ian Mellor, head of publishing said: "It has been a labour of love over the past five years, and the development time before then, to find new ways to present and provide access to the wide range of content that BSAVA produces. We’d love to encourage feedback about the library from the veterinary profession – please let us know what you like, what you don’t like so much, and what could be added that would really help you in your practice – this will help us to shape our digital offering over the next few years."
Comments and feedback about the BSAVA Library should be emailed to publications@bsava.com
The free anniversary collection of resources is available to all during the month of May. It can be accessed online.
Companies marketing medicines for small pets exempt from authorisation must submit their annual return to the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) by 30 November 2026.
