Help us fight disease and injury in animals

Library Services

One of the AHT’s main charitable objectives is the advancement of veterinary teaching and practice. As well as providing veterinary surgeons with opportunities for postgraduate education and training in a research environment, the AHT aims to communicate its findings to the veterinary and scientific professions generally. It also provides courses and support for professional veterinary surgeons in practice and those who have responsibility for the welfare of animals.

The Animal Health Trust’s Harris Library is available for use by veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and students studying animal health and others who may need to use a library in a particular subject area from time to time.

Access and facilities

The library is open to visitors only when it is staffed. All visitors must email the library in advance to make an appointment.

We are sorry that books and journals are not available for borrowing but scientific papers and articles from journals may be copied for which a charge is made complying with copyright law. Our journal holdings can be seen on the Journals page of this site.

If you are unable to visit, copies of papers and articles can be posted to you. To order, send an email with your details and the references you require. Charges are £5.00 per item from the AHT library and £13.00 for items obtained from other libraries. Charges include post and packing but not VAT which will be added to your invoice.

Papers published by the AHT’s staff are available on request. These can be seen listed in the Publications pages on this site and they may be requested by emailing the library.

Users should remember that there is a legal requirement that copying at AHT is only to be used for non-commercial purposes and copyright legislation must be followed.
