Doody Publishing has selected the 250 best health sciences books bearing a 1993 copyright from a database of more that 1600 titles. "Best" means more important to the audience(s) to which the book was targeted or most innovative. The 250 best represents the consensus of a variety of expert sources: Doody's own network of 500-plus reviewers, the 4,500 North American members of the Medical Library Association, participating publishers and industry sales statistics. This book profiles each award-winning book, with its own blend of bibliographic- and content-specific information, narrative comments about the importance of each book and a brief assessment of the value of the book. A reference for the health sciences information professional, this book is also suitable for public and college libraries, or general bookstores which have a relatively small health sciences collection or inventory.
