Hi all-
The Brandon Hill book/journal lists ceased in 2003. In fact, for the
Nursing titles that list ceased in 2002. Does anyone know if a similar
list has been created since then?

    Mark, we have made good use of the Brandon-Hill lists of recommended
journals in the health fields.  I believe they used to publish every
other year in Nursing Outlook for nursing, and Bulletin of the Medical
Library Association for allied health.  They also did a list for small
medical libraries.  I don't find a reference newer than 2000 for any of
these.
    I wish we had such a list for every discipline we teach.
Brandon-Hill included items starred for first purchase.  When requests
came in from faculty, we checked the list before responding.  I haven't
checked on it this year, but you might be able to find out if they
intend to continue the lists.
    I'll be very interested in the responses you get.
