Forum on Creating Core Health Sciences Resource Lists

December 3, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Please join us for a forum on how lists of core health sciences resources are developed! This session will focus on non-commercial lists of recommended books, journals, and databases. It’s a great opportunity to learn about how these core lists come together, and how you can potentially participate.

This forum is co-sponsored by the Medical Library Association’s (MLA) Collection Development Caucus, Dental Caucus, and Nursing & Allied Health Resources and Services Caucus.

This informal session will start with presentations from:

Nicole Theis-Mahon, Contributor to MLA’s 2022 Recommended Journals, Databases and Books for Dental Hygiene Programs
Sarah Wade, Contributor to the MLA NAHRS Nursing Essential Resources List
Krystal Bullers and Dr. Jason Guy, Co-Editors of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy’s (AACP) Basic Resources for Pharmacy Education List, who will also provide a brief overview of AACP’s Core Journals List

Following the presentations, there will be time for Q&A and discussion. Non-MLA members are welcome to attend and participate. The session will not be recorded to encourage open conversation, but presentation slides will be shared afterward.
