ince 1981, the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) has published a recommended library in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. This library was published on-line, starting in 1997. Compiled by ACOEMs Publications Committee, the Library is a selection of suggested texts focusing on the field of occupational medicine and its major subdisciplines. The Committee would like to thank Dr Robert K. McLellan for compiling the Library. This Library clearly identifies a basic core of texts essential for the general practice of occupational and environmental medicine. In addition, certain texts, indicated by an asterisk (*), are considered the best for the first purchase in a subject area. For those physicians new to the field of occupational and environmental medicine, the Library will assist them in creating a core curriculum library in the specialty; experienced occupational and environmental physicians can benefit by updating their library with the more advanced texts. Inclusion in the Library does not signify endorsement by the ACOEM. Recommendations regarding future editions are welcome and should be directed to Marianne Dreger, MA, 1114 N. Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, IL 60004 4770.

Basic Core
