Searching in a library catalog requires looking for broader topics such as domesticated animal behavior or farm animal behavior rather than the more specific cattle maternal behavior or ewe vocalization behavior . Useful subject searches by type of animal include cattle reproduction or sheep reproduction or cattle behavior or sheep behavior etc.
PLEASE NOTE: The UC Davis Library selectively buys materials on writing in the sciences. Browsable subject headings that bring up these publications include: Biology - Authorship; Communication of technical information; Life sciences - Authorship ; Proposal writing in biology; Report writing; Scientific Illustration ; Technical writing ; Visual communication in science

PLEASE NOTE: with the closure of the Carlson Health Sciences Library (HSL) in June 2022, print-only Veterinary Medicine publications that are high-use, core titles, reference materials, and currently-subscribed serials titles are being moved to appropriate locations in Shields Library over 2022-2024. These materials currently located in Temporary Storage (at the old HSL) may be requested for checkout at Shields or individual chapters may be requested for digitization.
