Conforming collections: assessing medical and allied health collections using Doody’s Core Titles
Objective: This study assessed the print collection of an Asian academic medical library using list-checking. The library’s book collection was matched to Doody’s Core Titles (DCT) subspecialties to identify strong and weak subject areas and understand temporal trends from 2014 to 2020. Method: List checking was employed as the method of research. Results: Basic sciences and nursing were the strongest subspecialties from 2018 to 2020, with many subjects having 100% matches, likely because most academic programs share the same basic sciences foundation subjects and nursing collections had been developed for many years as a long-standing program of the institution. Associated health-related disciplines was the weakest subspecialty. Conclusion: These subjects need to be prioritized in collection development. All subspecialties exhibited an increasing trend of matching between 2014 and 2020. Electronic books were included in the matching to DCT 2020; however, the match was low compared to print only or both print and electronic titles. DCT title matching can not only identify gaps in library collections that need to be filled but also point toward opportunities to develop strong and varied collections in medicine and allied health.

Using expert knowledge and peer review to create a reproducible process for the NAHRS Nursing Essential Resources List (NNERL)
Background: Librarians have relied on resource lists for developing nursing collections, but these lists are usually in static or subscription-based formats. An example of this is the 26th edition of the Essential Nursing Resources last published in 2012. The Nursing and Allied Health Resources and Services (NAHRS) Caucus Nursing Essential Resources List (NNERL) Task Force has been working on a new list since Fall 2020. The goal of the Task Force is to create a nursing resource list that represents current materials and formats, uses a selection process that is transparent and reproducible, and will be available to a broad audience. Case Presentation: Working from the Essential Nursing Resources 26th edition, the NNERL Task Force updated the purpose statement then began reviewing the resources on the list. Two working groups were formed: 1) an evaluation rubric working group developed a tool to evaluate the resources and 2) a tagging work group developed guidelines for creating metadata and “tags.” Volunteers were recruited from the NAHRS Caucus to tag the resources. Lastly, the Task Force finalized the list of resources in the NNERL then cleaned and reconciled the data. Conclusions: The final version of the NNERL will be published in Airtable, a cloud-based project management product, that will include metadata for every item on the list. The NNERL will be copyrighted to the NAHRS NNERL Task Force and made available through the Open Science Framework (OSF) under an Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Creative Commons License.
