College of Veterinary Medicine Research Guide

Are you at an externship outside of Starkville?  Do you work at the CVM facilities in Brandon, Pearl or Stoneville? If so, you still have access to a wide range of library resources and services.

Search Research Databases

• To search veterinary research databases when off-campus, you just need to enter your Net ID and Net Password when clicking on a database name.

• When searching research databases, look for full text links or click on the Find It button.

Get Items not in the Library's Print or Electronic Collections

• Use the Interlibrary Loan component of ILLiad.
  • Like Library Express, articles and book chapters are usually sent electronically, while books are mailed.
  • This is usually a free service. However, if we cannot get the item from another library for free, we will let you know how much it would cost.
