This project’s goal is to compile and verify recommended reading lists for the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Recognized Specialty Veterinary Organizations (RSVOs) examinations. This information will help veterinary residents locate these materials and help librarians develop collections.
This master template is licensed under creative commons, non-commercial use, share-alike, adaptations allowed. You can copy them into LibGuides 2 at your institution and modify them to include your local holdings. If you copy it to your institution's LibGuides presence, use a service like http://changedetection.com to monitor the pages for updates.
This project began in 2009 with Vicki F. Croft at Washington State University and Heather K. Moberly at Oklahoma State University and since has included contributions from many people. It is currently maintained by staff and faculty of the Ohio State University Libraries and the Texas A&M University's School of Veterinary Medicine & Biological Sciences.
If you are a resident at one of the following institutions, your library provides a custom reading guide:
