Essential and core books for veterinary medicine

Objective: To define core and essential lists of recent, English-language veterinary medicine books using a data-driven methodology for potential use by a broad audience including libraries building collections supporting veterinary sciences and One Health initiatives. Methods: Book titles were collected from monograph citation databases, veterinary examination reading lists, veterinary college textbook and library reserve lists, and published bibliographies. These lists were combined into a single list with titles ranked by the number of occurrences. Results: The methodology produced a core list of 122 monographs and an essential list of 33 titles. All titles are recent, edition neutral, English language monographs. One title is out of print. Conclusions: The methodology captured qualitative and quantitative input from four distinct populations who use veterinary monographs: veterinary practitioners, educators, researchers, and librarians. Data were collected and compiled to determine core and essential lists that represented all groups. Unfortunately, data are not available for all sub-areas of veterinary medicine, resulting in uneven subject coverage. This methodology can be replicated and adapted for other subject areas.Publisher allows immediate open acces
