Abstract:
The Veterinary Library of the University of Pretoria developed as a branch library of the University of Pretoria's Department of Library Services. It dates back to 1974 when it opened its doors in the building which now houses the Department of Production Animal Studies, formerly the Ethology Section. The facility allocated to the library was formerly the students' tearoom. The libray moved into the Sir Arnold Theiler Building in April 1987 as the need to provide computer facilities had grown.
