This revised list of 492 books and 138 journals is intended as a selection guide for small or medium-sized hospital libraries or for the small medical library serving a specified clientele. It can also be used as a core list by small hospital library consortia. Books and journals are categorized by subject, with the books being followed by an author index and the journals by an alphabetical title listing. Items suggested for initial purchase by smaller libraries are indicated by an asterisk. To purchase the entire collection of books and to pay for annual subscriptions to all the journals would require an expenditure of about $22,500. The cost of only the asterisked items, recommended for first purchase, totals approximately $6,100.
Five core lists of medical journals are compared with respect to size, intended users, and content. Despite variations in scope and depth, there is significant agreement among the lists. A list of the seventy-two titles appearing on four or all of the five lists is appended. There is no clear relationship between frequency of inclusion in these core lists and citation frequency as reported in Journal Citation Reports.
