==How do I use WikiVet?==
Our users tend to use WikiVet in one of three main ways, either for '''reference''', '''revision''' or for '''learning'''
<br>
====Using WikiVet as a reference resource====
WikiVet content is easily searchable via the dedicated search engine, so when you want to remind yourself of something or look something up, you should be able to get to it swiftly. You can also [[WikiVet Articles|navigate our written content]] or [[Learning Resources|learning resources]] via species, disciplines or body systems. We hope in this way you will be able to get to the information you want fast, and when you get to it there will hopefully be cited references so you know where the content has come from. We're also working on getting the [[Help:Reviewing content|content reviewed]] by experts.
<br>
====Using WikiVet for revision====
Many written pages of content have links to relevant [[:Category:Flashcards|flashcards]], [[WikiQuiz|quizzes]] or other learning resources that let you test your knowledge of a subject. These resources can even be [[Help:Books|downloaded as PDF's]] so you can go through them while on the move
<br>
====Using WikiVet for learning====
We have grouped our content together into categories, so you can work your way through a topic. For instance if you wanted to learn about the anatomy of the alimentary system, you can [[Alimentary System - Anatomy & Physiology|see all the pages]] of written content and learning resources we have on that topic. <br><br>
All of our pages have been written and peer-reviewed by qualified vets, many of them recent graduates. This means they remember what kind of information they needed to know to pass exams, and can summarise topics to the essential knowledge. We provide lots of links on pages so if you're learning about something, it's very easy to them read around it without having to get another book out!
