When Doody's Book Review Service™ first premiered in 1993, the Medical Library Association endorsed it as a "valuable collection development, cataloging and reference tool." From the very beginning, the information needs of medical libraries have always been a primary focus of Doody Enterprises. Please see the sections below for information on our latest product offerings.
Collection Development Tools

- Doody's timely, expert reviews on the majority of newly published titles
- a Weekly Literature Update providing updates of books added to the database the previous week in a subscriber's profiled areas of interest
- popular Web features including searches of new reviews pre-sorted by specialty, advanced search capabilities to retrieve titles from more than 100,000 entries in the database, and the ability to create, email, print and share custom lists of titles.
