The idea for a "Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library"
occurred to Alfred N. Brandon in the mid-1960s. In July 1965 the initial "Selected
List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library" appeared, followed in 1979
by the "Selected List of Nursing Books and Journals" and in 1984 by the "Selected
List of Books and Journals in Allied Health." The medical and allied health lists
appear in the Journal of the Medical Library Association (formerly the Bulletin of
the Medical Library Association). The nursing list appears in Nursing Outlook.
