Veterinary zoological information resource project.

This project was originally conceived to make
available the mass of information presented at
lectures organised by the Glasgow University
Veterinary Zoological Society, the World's
largest student veterinary zoological society.
To this end, the University dedicated the use
of a workstation in their 40-strong computer
centre, technical support staff, and full
access to their powerful fibre-optic network.
The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons gave a
grant of £2,650 towards the purchase of top-level
scanning equipment and further upgrade of the
workstation.
