Subject:  Rural Health/Medicine Collection Development

Hello everyone, <> 
My name is Chris Childs and I am the assistant director at the TTUHSC 
Odessa, TX library. 
My library is in the beginning stage of getting a Rural Health/Medicine 
collection together, and
I have no prior collection development experience.  I was wondering if 
anyone had an advice or
suggestions on how best to begin this process.  I am interested in 
obtaining a book list of materials
that is commonly used by medical/academic libraries.  I would also be 
interested to know who has
expertise in this particular type of collection development and which 
libraries house the best collections. <> 

Any type of guidance, advice, and/or suggestions would be very much 
appreciated. <> 

Best regards, <> 
Chris <>
