Editorial Reviews

This is a compilation of 473 reviews of medical and health titles selected from the unabridged American Reference Book Annuals, 1997-2003. While the critical reviews include comparisons with similar works, consumer health librarians tend to rely on more up-to-date selection tools such as the Brandon/Hill selected lists (www.mssm.edu/library/brandon-hill) in nursing, allied health, and other health specialties. This latest addition to the "ARBA In-Depth" series is most useful to librarians who are building a special collection, adding depth of coverage, or filling in gaps in appropriate subject fields.
