Collections
The V.E. Library consists of historic and contemporary periodicals, books, conference proceedings, pamphlets and brochures, research reports, and theses. These cover the topics of viticulture and enology, as well as general agriculture, ag business and marketing, soil science, molecular and micro-biology, chemistry, pest management, and sustainable and organic farming.
Visiting and browsing the collection is freely open to students, staff, and faculty of California State University, Fresno, industry, and the general public. Borrowing privileges requires the appropriate card.
OneSearch will find both what the Fresno State library and the VE Library have. It searches for books, ebooks, articles, videos, maps, and more.
