Dear All,
As all the Librarians working in Medical College Libraries are aware that there is a mandate from the Medical Council of India to subscribe to at least 70 (Seventy) Indian and 30 (Thirty) Foreign Journals. I want to know whether there is any model list of such journals? I understand that in U.S. Medical Libraries there was a standard list of Books and Journals (first ever compiled by Alfred Brandon in 1965 and popularly named as Brandon-Hill list)
In our Country, the exercise of compiling such a list is a bit complicated as we need to compile two sets one for Indian Titles and the other for foreign titles keeping an eye to both cost and usability as the deciding factors. In case there is any model list by MCI or any empowered/statutory body, I shall appreciate if it is shared in this forum.
I envisaged the need a couple of years earlier and during the Simla Conference of MLAI in early 2000, I raised the issue for but nothing fruitful was achieved.
