Badham Library Collections
The Badham Collection is extensive, containing specialised dictionaries, encyclopaedias, directories, handbooks, bibliographies and many abstracting and indexing services in all fields of veterinary science, agriculture and biological sciences. The interdisciplinary nature of much teaching and research on campus means that staff and post-graduate students from many other departments are regular users of the library eg. Medicine, Geography, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Organic Chemistry and Pharmacy. In addition, staff and students from all over campus borrow from Badham Library's collections for recreational and private interests such as gardening and food science.
Books and serials are shelved separately in call number order. Serials are not available for loan.
