The Medical Library Association's Master Guide to Authoritative Information Resources in the Health Sciences

摘要

The MLA 's Master Guide grew out of a suggestion during a meeting of the MLA Books Panel, where it was suggested as a resource for collection development for the new programs, as well as for filling in gaps in existing collections. Since the essential guide to health sciences collections, Brandon/Hill Selected List of Print Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library ceased publication in 2003 after 38 years and 20 editions, librarians have been asking for an update to the List. The Master Guide is meant to fulfil that purpose by expanding the Brandon/Hill lists and including digital and online publications.
