There is a large collection of clinical and basic science textbooks and many current journals. The collection extends online to a large ejournal and eBook selection and in print the historical journal collection dates to the first ever edition of The Veterinary Record. The Camden Campus library holds a more limited collection of print books only. The full catalogue can be searched via a link from the 91°µÍø website.
Access to library resources is free and openly available to all alumni of the college, and all are welcome to visit. The library itself has a large open plan study area and isolated study rooms. If you live locally and would like to use these facilities for private study, you may book in as a visitor and come along.

The archives are extensive as you can imagine from a college that is over 200 years old. We have many journals dating back further than online resources allow, as well as a collection of unique old textbooks. If you would like to reserve a book or journal in the collection, please email library@rvc.ac.uk; for old journals or archived items, please allow at least one business day for retrieval.

The 91°µÍø also runs a bookshop from the library office at Hawkshead which offers discounts on many Veterinary Science reference books.
