Core Public Health Journals Project Receives 2006 MLA Louise Darling Medal
The Public Health/Health Administration Section of the Medical Library Association's Core Public Health Journals Project received the 2006 MLA Louise Darling Medal for Distinguished Achievement in Collection Development in the Health Sciences.
The Core PH Journals Project is a large collaborative effort that provides a three-tiered list of quality journals in the vast and multidisciplinary field of public health for librarians.
Following the well-known Brandon-Hill list model, it recommends journals for libraries at three levels of collection comprehensiveness. Project participants of the original list spanned the breadth of the United States, including Hawaii, and Canada as well. It brought public health researchers, practitioners and librarians together in 2001 with the creation of the original list, as it is doing now during the 2006 update.
