Doody’s Core Titles publishes a “Doody’s Special Topics List” that brings together the top books on a given topic picked by content experts. In summer 2025, Doody published an Aging and Health book list that librarians use to evaluate their collections. Associate Librarian Tallie Casucci used this list to purchase an additional 20 titles for the U Libraries. The titles listed below are open access or available through the U Libraries with the recently purchased book titles bolded.
