- Summary:
- This reference arose out of a conversation at a Medical Library Association meeting and was created to aid collection development, primarily in academic medical libraries (although indications of appropriateness for hospital or consumer health collections are also given). The aim is to fill the gap left by the discontinuation in 2003 (after 38 years and 20 editions) of the Brandon/Hill Selected List of Print Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library. The editors asked 108 librarians to select and annotate 10 book titles and 10 journal titles important in their various specialties. To make the selections the contributors drew on a variety of sources including the 2010 edition of Doody's Core Titles, previous editions of Brandon/Hill, The Hague List, and Basic Resources for Pharmacy Education, among others. The final selection comprises 2,011 titles pertaining to clinical specialties, subspecialties, basic sciences, and emerging disciplines. Print and online formats of books and journals as well as online databases are included. Bereft of an author index. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
