摘要：A CORE collection of biomedical textbooks, selected primarily for self-study use by medical, nursing, pharmacy, and allied health students has been in existence for four years at the University of New Mexico's Health Sciences Library. The collection, modelled loosely after the basic book collection recommended for community hospital libraries by Stearns and Ratcliff [1], was set up originally as a demonstration unit for a series of workshops for New Mexico hospital librarians.
