    Background:

    • Planning and establishing a dedicated library collection for the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University.
    • The Veterinary Medical Library is a 6,800 sq ft facility within the Veterinary Medical Building, offering seating for 140 patrons.
    • The library aims to house essential print materials for veterinary and comparative medicine education and research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the planning process and collection development for a new veterinary medical library.
    • To outline the physical space, seating capacity, and collection scope.
    • To detail the current collection size and future maintenance plans.

    Main Methods:

    • Describing the strategic planning for a new library unit.
    • Developing a book and journal collection to meet specific academic needs.
    • Utilizing indexing and abstracting tools for resource accessibility.

    Main Results:

    • A self-contained Veterinary Medical Library has been established.
    • The current collection comprises over 17,000 volumes and 500 serial titles.
    • A working collection of 25,000 volumes is planned, with the University Library as a backup.

    Conclusions:

    • The new library provides a foundational collection for veterinary and comparative medicine.
    • The library is equipped with access tools for broader resource discovery.
    • Future collection growth and backup support systems are in place.
