The Academic Health Sciences Library and Serial Selection

Abstract

A review of efforts to formulate basic medical journal lists and a report of a survey of subscriptions held in academic health science libraries is presented. The subscriptions held by thirty-seven libraries were analyzed to determine those held by 60-100% of the sample. A comparison of those titles subscribed to b) 90-100% of the sample reveals that most of these titles appear in the lists formulated by other studies.
