Contributors to Doody's Core Titles (DCT)

One of the hallmarks of Doody's Core Titles is the number of individuals who have contributed to its development - health science librarians, content specialists, the medical book distributors, and the staff of Doody Enterprises, Inc. Because of the cumulative efforts of over 200 individuals, we are able to produce a reliable, annual list of core titles in just over two months.

Licensees

Many of the librarians who benefit daily from the rich information that comprises each annual edition of DCT access it through any one of our DCT licensees. A handful of distributors and industry partners license DCT data annually to integrate into their own services and products aimed at health sciences librarians. It is through these partners that DCT has secured a global reputation as the premier collection development tool in the health sciences.
