About Doody’s Collection Development Monthly

In response to reader demand, Doody’s Collection Development Monthly (DCDM) was developed as a free service for subscribers to Doody’s Review Service and Doody’s Core Titles. Premiering in January 2014, DCDM includes both a blog, published with regular updates, and a monthly e-mail newsletter.

DCDM content includes:

• Guest Reviews written by librarians for librarians of major electronic resources
• Case Studies of marketing success stories in health sciences libraries
• Q & As with our Library Board of Advisors and Doody’s Core Titles Librarian Selectors
• Publisher Profiles of the many publishers that participate in Doody’s Review Service
• Specialty Profiles that focus on the number and type of print and electronic books published in a specific subject area.
• Profiles of our expert reviewers: Our Editorial Review Group (ERG) Chairs and expert book reviewers are the bedrock of our company.
• Product Highlights our partners want to pass along to health sciences and collection development librarians (sponsored content)

We’re glad you’re here and hope you enjoy your time on our DCDM blog! Be sure to sign up to receive our newsletter to stay up to date with the latest from us.
