FOR LIBRARIANS
This page is dedicated to resources for librarians engaged in or seeking to learn more about Doody’s editorial opportunities.
Doody’s Core Titles Librarian Selector
Each year, librarians from around the world help us select and score entries for Doody’s Core Titles, the list of most distinguished and integral health sciences books. The step-by-step process is beginner-friendly and AHIP credit is available for librarians who participate. Learn more about our Librarian Selectors HERE.
To find out if this is the right fit for you, submit a no-commitment interest form today so we can invite you the next DCT Librarian Selector information session. These sessions are generally held in December or January in advance of the February orientation and kick-off. Selectors actively select and score over a period of six weeks from February to April each year.
Doody’s Core Titles Featured Article
Each month, we publish a fresh article written by librarians for librarians about a wide array of topics in health sciences librarianship. Featured Articles are a great way to promote a paper or project you’ve worked on or showcase an innovation you’ve implemented at your library. This is also an opportunity to reflect on changes in the profession.
Read some recent examples of DCT Featured Articles:
Collecting for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Lessons Learned

What to Do When You Have No Idea What You’re Doing
Doody’s Collection Development Monthly Resource Review
Since 2014, librarians have been reviewing electronic resources in the health sciences with Doody’s for the benefit of their librarian colleagues. These reviews are incredibly popular, widely syndicated across Doody platforms, and are now indexed in the LERRN Database. Reviews follow a guided template structure and focus on a resource of your choosing.

Doody’s Collection Development Monthly Marketing/Innovation Case Study
