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 Health Sciences libraries have always been a primary focus of Doody Enterprises. Please see the sections below for information on our product offerings.
