 INFORMATION ABOUT US

 

 

The Library of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Bucharest is the oldest library for veterinary education in our country, its history is closely linked to the history of the faculty as part of it, and it existed from the beginnings in the main building of the Faculty, built in 1887 for the School of Veterinary Medicine (Splaiul Independentei 105).

Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Bucharest Library is a specialized university library, hosted in the main building of the faculty (A pavilion). The library has a hybrid character, derived from the coexistence of both traditional documents and multimedia collections.

As development directions the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Bucharest Library aims at achieving a harmonious balance between its three main functions: custodial function, informational function and educational function.

In this context, the library takes care to thoroughly preserve scientific and cultural heritage of great value, with which it is endowed, but equally keeps in focus the large variety of users and their growing varied infodocumentary applications.

A primary goal of the library refers to the real support that is necessary to provide for the targeted academic community, through a current permanent connection to the data, information and knowledge of the field, based on a well structured informatical and informational infrastructure.

Veterinary medical education in our country was initially influenced by medical and veterinary education in other countries, mainly Austro-Hungarian, then from France and Germany, where most of our teachers studied at that time and where some of them were awarded the title of Doctor Honoris Causa or were elected to be part of the French and German Academies. The need for specialists in the veterinary field was motivated by the intensification of livestock breeding at the end of the 18th century and by the heavy tribute to the diffusible animal diseases.

The primary forms of veterinary education, elementary or medium, affiliated to medical education, were laid down by various legal provisions in 1831 (for a veterinary school) and in 1832 (a veterinary art course - referred to in the Organic Regulation). In 1856, Dr. Charles Davila (of French origin), general army, doctor, founded in Bucharest the first medical school in the Balkan countries that also had courses in the field of animal diseases - the School for Veterinary Education.

In 1861, veterinary medicine became independent, as a Veterinary School, with an own education plan.

A period of searches followed between 1864-1883, which was the consequence of the lack of administrative support, dependent on the line ministries. Thus, the progress that started in the previous period could not be ensured, and the continuation of education, with special sacrifices from the teaching staff, pupils and veterinarians or other supporters in Bucharest, which supported education through personal efforts, was damaged.

In 1883, under the direction of Alexandru Locusteanu, the Veterinary School was recohnized as Higher School of Veterinary Medicine. Also in 1883, the Higher School of Veterinary Medicine moved from the Ministry of Education to the Ministry of Agriculture, and Alexandru Locusteanu started the construction of the school building, acquiring 3 ha of land (between Splaiul Independenţei and Izvor street) for the buildings needed by the school.

In 1921, the Law on the Transformation of the Higher School of Veterinary Medicine into the Faculty was voted. By this act, the veterinary medical education has received its final consecration as a university education. At that time, it was the only veterinary school in the Balkans, many students from neighboring countries (Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Macedonia, Albania, Greece) graduated and still graduated in Romania.

From 1921 until 1948 our faculty was part of the University of Bucharest, and from 1948 until now is part of the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest. From 1887 until now, the faculty is located and operates in a large campus (between Splaiul Independenţei and Izvor Street), interrupting its activity in this area only in two moments of its existence - the Second World War (returning to 1952) and between 1985 and 1989.

In 1985, at the disposition of the old communist regime, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Bucharest was relocated, leaving the campus in Splaiul Independentei, the didactic activity being carried out under unfit conditions in several institutions in Bucharest. This "spraying" of the faculty's subjects was a temporary survival solution, better than the solution of the abolition and redistribution of its students and teachers to the other faculties in the country.

Since 1990, the renovation of the old buildings has begun and, in parallel with the restoration, there have been found ways to resume teaching in the old college. Under severe socio-economic conditions, the campus of the faculty continued to modernize to the standards set by the European Community. In addition to renovation works, other important facilities were built - the Clinic Pavilion (1997), the Veterinary Hospital (2000). Simultaneously, the optimization of the curriculum and analytical programs was carried out and the training forms were improved (Postgraduate Studies School, Master).

While there was a second resettlement, which we considered to be definitive, we tried not to look at the places we left behind, and here, after a Renaissance period, today Alma Mater of the Romanian veterinary education cuts off , develops, giving us all the security of its eternity.
