By now everybody knows that the Brandon Hill List for medical libraries is gone. Doody Enterprises has created Doody’s Core Titles in the Health Sciences 2004 (DCT) a new service for medical library community.

This list of core titles represents the collective judgment of 92 Content Specialists and 82 Library Selectors about what titles represent essential knowledge needed by a professional or student in 119 different health-related disciplines. The list is intended to serve as an aid to collection development librarians responsible for collecting titles in clinical medicine, basic science, nursing, allied health, and other associated health-related disciplines. The 2004 edition of DCT features 1,912 titles in 119 different specialties.

In producing DCT, Doody Enterprises, Inc., hopes to fill a void created by the discontinuation of the Brandon / Hill Selected Lists for the small medical library, in nursing and in allied health.

Doody's Core Titles in the Health Sciences, 2004 edition, is now available online. For information on this product and how to access it go to http://www.doody.com/dct/
