An interesting discussion is developing on the Medlib-L list on the future of collection development lists. The Brandon-Hill list has been for many years the US standard, while here in the UK we have the Medical Information Working Party's list. But now Brandon-Hill is to be discontinued (MIWP announced a new edition for 2003 but it has yet to appear).
The most interesting part of the discussion seems to me to be how we might move to more evidence-based collection development.
