Since UC Davis has the only Animal Science department in the University of California, the UC Davis Library has the only University of California library collection supporting this area. If not online, nearly all animal science-related print materials will be found in Shields Library. UC Davis has one separate health sciences library for clinical human medicine (Blaisdell Medical Library at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento) and all remaining sciences collections are at Shields Library. Some animal science information may also be found as part of the Government Information collection of Shields Library, Lower Level.
Avian/Poultry Science collections are located on the 3rd floor of Shields Library in the SF 480s-490s call number area. Please refer to the Shields Library floor maps.
The Carlson Health Sciences Library (HSL) closed in June 2022 and the collections are being transferred to various locations: Shields Library 3rd floor, Blaisdell Medical Library (clinical medical materials) and Northern Regional (UC or University of California) Library (Storage) Facility in Richmond. Materials currently located in Temporary Storage (at the old HSL) may be requested for checkout at Shields or for digitization. NOTE: The Carlson Health Sciences library housed materials to support VetMed resources which are classed in the SF area. This is the only VetMed library collection in the UC Library system.
