The Zalk Veterinary Medical Library (VML) is more than just a library—it’s a warm, inviting space designed to support students. Located within the College of Veterinary Medicine, the VML provides a cozy yet resource-packed environment perfect for studying, researching, or simply finding a quiet moment to focus. As a bonus, it’s also right next to Buck’s ice cream!
Just like Mizzou’s other libraries, the VML is home to friendly and knowledgeable research librarians who are always happy to help. Whether you need guidance on finding the perfect article, navigating tricky databases, or even just discovering a great book, they’ve got your back. Our head librarian, Jara Anderson, is an expert in multiple subjects, making her a fantastic resource for students. With access to anatomical models, veterinary videos, and digital resources, the VML is a treasure trove of learning materials designed to help you succeed.
Beyond its extensive research support and collection, the VML is also one of the best study spots on campus. Whether you’re looking for a quiet nook to get lost in a book, a comfortable space to grind through last-minute assignments, or a collaborative area to tackle group projects, you’ll find the perfect spot here. And if you ever need a resource the library doesn’t have on hand, interlibrary loan services and partnerships with other institutions ensure you always have access to the latest veterinary research.
No matter if you’re here to hit the books, escape for some peaceful study time, or get expert help from a librarian, the VML is ready to welcome you with open arms! So, come take a look and find out where you study best.
