Review of Doody's Core Titles in the Health Sciences 2004 (DCT 2004)

Overview For the last forty years, the Brandon / Hill Selected Lists of medical and nursing and allied health books have served as indispensable collection development tools in the medical library community. Following the announcement in April 2004 that the Brandon / Hill Selected Lists would no longer be updated, Doody Enterprises, Inc. decided to develop and publish a list of core titles that would help medical librarians in their collection development decisions. Doody's Core Titles in the Health Sciences 2004 (DCT 2004) is the result of the collaborative effort of approximately 200 content specialists, medical library collection development experts, medical book wholesalers, and the publisher's staff.
