Dear Medibers, 
I would like to revisit the discussion  of "Core Medical Journals" by encouraging you to read  Tony Stankus' s DBIO Blog entry from April 19, 2010: Doctors & The Librarians Who Serve Them Agree on the Medical Journals That Matter the Most

http://sla-divisions.typepad.com/dbio/2010/04/doctors-the-librarians-who-serve-them-agree-on-the-medical-journals-that-matter-the-most.html

This post compares the 2009 polls and which asked essentially the same question:  Which are the medical journals most important to your life’s work?

1) MDs poll: The New England Journal of Medicine’s  “Essential Journals Study” http://nejmadsales.org/html/marketresearch.html

2)  The BioMedical and Life Sciences Division (DBIO) of the Special Libraries Association poll
