How Does VetAccess Work?
We research your topic, then forward the response or articles by mail, phone, fax, e-mail, or express delivery, as appropriate.
Research and Literature Search Services
Our professional library staff, using a list of journal citations on your subject interest, the published literature, article databases, and other resources, helps you find relevant information and answers your questions. You may then request copies of articles as needed.
