Health Economics Core Library Project

Section One

Background

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) contracted AcademyHealth to develop a corelist of materials (books, journals, websites and bibliographic databases) and a desired listof books and journals in the field of health economics for an audience of librarians. Thelists are intended to serve as a guide for librarians who want to develop a healtheconomics collection.

The core list contains 71 books and 30 journals. In developing this list, we focused,intentionally, on United States publications. However, given that some librarians maybe interested in the international context of health economics, the desired list containsselected, but by no means a complete list of, international titles. With respect to pricinginformation, the amount of items purchased will hinge on one’s budgetary constraints.For example, some books are downloadable in PDF format from the web for free.Others, such as reference books and textbooks can cost as much as $525.001, while othertitles may be purchased for $21.00. With respect to journals, annual subscriptionsrange from as low as $75 to a high of $1,523 with $318 being the average.

Methodology

AcademyHealth staff employed several strategies in developing these materials. First,staff developed the following working definition of health economics:

Health Economics: Working Definition2

Health economics is defined as the branch of economics (a social science)which deals with the provision of healthcare services, their delivery, andtheir use, with special attention to quantifying the demands andmeasuring outcomes for such services, the social, financial, andopportunity costs of such services, and of their delivery, and the benefitsobtained. More emphasis is given to the costs and benefits of healthcareto a population than to the individual. It is dynamic in nature and basedon changing health issues.

--Health Economics Core Library Module Librarian Expert Discussion Meeting, August 6, 2002

1 Costs noted are for new, hardcover editions. In many instances, books listed on this list can be

purchased in paperback, or in a used format for a lower price.2

During an August 6, 2002 Health Economics Core Library Module Discussion Meeting, participantsexpanded the definition of Health Economics found in Slee’s Health Care Terms, 4 th Edition. Thisdefinition was reviewed also by our academic experts.



5

Second, staff identified two sets of experts. Using NLM recommendations,AcademyHealth staff, and AcademyHealth contacts, we identified one panel of librarianexperts and one panel of academic experts. (Please refer to Section Five of this reportfor a listing of the experts.) The librarian expert panel comprised librarians employed athealth policy centers and academic institutions located within the Washington, DC

metropolitan area

3

. The academic panel comprised eight academic experts. Afteridentifying these experts, AcademyHealth staff solicited recommendations for books,journals, bibliographic databases and websites from them.

Ranking the Materials

Resources submitted by the experts were reviewed and cross-checked. We created amaster document of all book and journal titles received. Staff ranked each book title andjournal title according to the number of times it was suggested by an expert (librarian oracademic). Additionally, staff reviewed 14 syllabi from 12 Health economics professorsand conducted detailed internet searches for Health economics websites andbibliographic databases. Staff tallied all recommendations4, compiled their research,

and created four preliminary documents:

• a list of core health economics books and journals

• a list of desired health economics books and journals

• a list of relevant health economics bibliographic databases

• a list of relevant health economics internet sites.

The expert librarians reviewed all four lists and met as a group5on August 6, 2002 to

discuss, refine, condense, and ultimately approve, the lists. With respect to the list of relevant health economics bibliographic databases, the group discussed and voted uponthe selections, and separated the bibliographic databases document into two lists: coreand desired. Additionally, the group discussed and agreed upon the best system of ranking the materials. The August 6, 2002 panel agreed that input from the academicexperts would carry the most “weight.” Second, AcademyHealth staff would use the ISI Journal Citation Report , published by the Institute for Scientific Information6 toascertain how many times articles in a particular journal were cited within two yearsfollowing the publication date. Staff collected information on the Impact Factor andImmediacy Index. The Impact Factor is the average number of current citations toarticles cited during the year that they were published. The Immediacy Index is theaverage number of times current articles are cited during the year they were published.(Please refer to Table I below.)

3 There is one exception to this. One expert is employed at an institution located outside of the DC area.4 The books and journals on the preliminary core list were those recommended by more than one meetingparticipant. There were a total of eight possible votes: seven votes (one from each expert librarian) andone vote from AcademyHealth. The AcademyHealth vote represented recommendations culled from the14 syllabi of the 12 Health Economics professor as well as AcademyHealth library recommendations.5 This meeting consisted of seven expert librarians, four AcademyHealth staff, and one National Library of Medicine program officer.6 Data gathered from this analysis were used as a supporting mechanism to separate journals into theCore and Desired lists.

After the August 6, 2002 meeting, AcademyHealth staff modified the lists and re-circulated them to the expert librarians for final review and comment before sending thelists to the eight academic experts.

AcademyHealth staff reviewed and cross-checked all comments received from theacademic experts, conducted follow-up telephone calls and emails as needed, andadjusted the lists accordingly. This resulted in the following five lists:

• a list of core health economics books and journals

• a list of desired health economics books and journals

• a list of core health economics bibliographic databases

• a list of desired health economics bibliographic databases

• a list of relevant health economics websites.

The lists of core and desired health economics books and journals can be found inSection Two of this report. Section Three contains the core and desired healtheconomics bibliographic databases in a table format. Section Four contains a list of relevant health economics websites. The last section of the report, Section Five,

contains the names of our two panels of experts: the librarians and the academics.
