BSAVA celebrates fifth anniversary of digital library
The BSAVA Library was launched in 2018 to meet the demand for online veterinary content.
Vet profession invited to provide feedback about BSAVA Library to aid development.

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) is celebrating the fifth anniversary of the BSAVA Library. To mark the event, it has published a free collection of some of the most popular resources which illustrate topics that are at the forefront of veterinary medicine.

The digital library was launched in 2018 to meet the demand for online veterinary content, and includes more than 9,000 BSAVA resources such as companion articles, clinical videos, scientific documents and webinars.

The library is used by BSAVA members, practices and universities around the world. It has seen in excess of 430,000 logins, over 7.7 million content views and just under one million full text downloads.

BSAVA are planning to develop the digital library further, and are inviting the veterinary profession to provide feedback.

Ian Mellor, head of publishing said: "It has been a labour of love over the past five years, and the development time before then, to find new ways to present and provide access to the wide range of content that BSAVA produces. We’d love to encourage feedback about the library from the veterinary profession – please let us know what you like, what you don’t like so much, and what could be added that would really help you in your practice – this will help us to shape our digital offering over the next few years."

Comments and feedback about the BSAVA Library should be emailed to publications@bsava.com

The free anniversary collection of resources is available to all during the month of May. It can be accessed online.

Germany livestock import ban lifted

The UK government has amended its ban on the import of livestock, meat and dairy products from Germany.

Defra said the decision follows 'rigorous technical assessment' of the measures applied and the current situation. "If the situation changes, we will not hesitate to take necessary action in response to the FMD outbreaks in the European Union to protect our domestic biosecurity," it said.

The ban was implemented in January following an outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) near Berlin. Personal imports of meat, milk and dairy products will remain in place at a country level.
