Access to online journals

Here's another one

You need to register but this has online information. It also stores old copies of Veterinary Focus. This is the publication from Royal Canin. For those of you long in the tooth like me, this is a follow on from the excellent Waltham Focus, as pedigree pet foods is now part of Royal Canin. Each magazine has a theme, so for example in 2011 they had a publication dedicated to Endocrinopathies. You can get the hard copies sent to you - free, contact Royal Canin, however I prefer the online as can download and catalogue where I can find them on a portable hard drive.

[quote user="Tim Cheyne"] Arlo, is it possible to put it where it can be found easily for future reference?[/quote]

Actually, I did already have a list of veterinary journals in the VetSurgeon Directory, here: http://www.vetsurgeon.org/wikis/veterinary-directory-3

But, with thanks to Niall for allowing the plagiarism, I have now updated the list ...

Thanks, Arlo. Being a bit dim I had not noticed the original link in the directory.

Thanks for the compliments - we are proud of our service!

Bit confused re: pubmed as its a free resource? but we advertise it through the library as well.

[quote user="Cherry Bushell"]Hi I just want to clarify that the RCVS Trust Library WILL be offering access again to Science Direct to our Members! We had to withdraw access last year, however we have been in discussions with Elsevier, and we will expect to be able to announce to our Members shortly that we have re-subscribed to Science Direct.

That's excellent news, thanks for letting us know Cherry, I hope the Wiley access is going to continue as well - it took me about a year to work out how to use it, I'd hate to lose it now!

The RCVS trust library is a fantastic resource, excellent value for money and the staff are about the most helpful lot I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with .

No chance of pubmed coming back aswell I suppose?

Cheers,

Niall

[quote user="Tim Cheyne"] Wow, that's a useful list, Niall![/quote]

Thanks Tim. I've tidied up the links now so they open in a new window and put a note that the Eoropean Vet Journal is currently between servers and appears unavailable online at the moment.

Here's a couple I forgot:

Open access gateways:
Openj-gate (thousands of open access journals; can be a bit slow but def. worth the wait):
Quick search page - http://www.openj-gate.com/Search/QuickSearch.aspx
Search by journal name - http://www.openj-gate.com/Browse/ByJournal.aspx?alpha=ALL

Pubmed central (to search by journal name):
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/journals/?filter=t1&titles=all&search=journals

Both the above are excellent resources for open access journals and if you enter 'veterinar' into the search box you get plenty of great quality vet journals.

Canadian Vet journal (open access after 6 months):
Index in openj-gate (title order) - http://www.openj-gate.com/Browse/Articlelist.aspx?Journal_ID=103360
Index in openj-gate (archived by year) - http://www.openj-gate.com/browse/Archive.aspx?journal_id=103360&year=2011
Index in pubmed central - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/journals/202/

Canadian journal of Veterinary Research:
Index in pubmed central - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/journals/133/

Hope that helps.

Niall

ps - Happy to have Arlo post the list anywhere useful

You need VIN the veterinary information network. I get articles emailed to me and the resources are very big.

Goodluck
