IVY Academic Search: Veterinary Science and Medicine

We have heard the welcoming news that the Veterinary collections of the University of Pretoria's Open Access Institutional Repository UPSpace, have been added to an open access subject repository of the University of Utrecht: IVY Academic Search: Veterinary Science and Medicine. As they state on their webpage, their mission is to:

"provide the local, national and international veterinary community wih a high-quality academic information search and retrieval system for veterinary research"

This will contribute to the further exposure of our Faculty's research output as well as all other valuable digital veterinary science collections currently part of UPSpace.

One of the advantages of using the University of Utrecht's IVY Academic Search facility is that a central point is provided to search the open access repositories of all participatory Veterinary Institutions worldwide. Search results can be printed, e-mailed, saved or exported to Refworks.

We are proud to contribute to this initiative of the University of Utrecht.
