A basic list of 133 book and journal titles in dentistry is presented. The
list is intended as a bibliographic selection tool for those libraries and
health institutions that support clinical dentistry programs and services
in the nondental school environment in the United States and Canada.
The book and journal titles were selected by the membership of the
Dental Section of the Medical Library Association (MLA). The Dental
Section membership represents dental and other health sciences
libraries and dental research institutions from the United States and
Canada, as well as from other countries. The list was compiled and
edited by the Ad Hoc Publications Committee of the Dental Section of
MLA. The final list was reviewed and subsequently was approved for
publication and distribution by the Dental Section of MLA during the
section's 1996 annual meeting in Kansas City, Missouri.
