由於中小型的醫學圖書館因囿於人力、經費與空間的限制，僅能蒐集少數專門性 的資料供讀者利用。加上近年來醫學期刊的漲幅驚人，因此如何選購較具權威性與合用的資 料，就成為醫學圖書館館員及使用者所十分關切的課題。在選擇資料時，如有一份經專家挑 選過，具權威性的核心資料清單可供參考，應能使資料的選擇更具信心。本研究即針對前述 需求，編選適合國內使用的醫學核心期刊 236 種， 分列 42 個主題，以做為各級醫學圖書 館在建立各館基本期刊館藏時之依據，並提供醫事人員於教學、研究及醫療之參考。

　　　　　Since medium-and small-sized medical libraries can only collect a small number of specialized materials for use by their readers, due to personnel, budgetary and space limitations, and the number of medical periodicals has mushroomed to an alarming extent in recent years, how to choose and acquire authoritative and useful materials is of great concern to medical librarians and users. An authoritative list of core materials selected by experts to consult when choosing such materials would increase everyone's confidence in making such choices. This study addresses the aforementioned need by compiling an appropriate list of 236 core medical science periodicals under 42 topics for use by domestic users that can serve as a basis for medical libraries of all levels to establish a basic periodical collection that can provide reference materials for medical personnel engaged in teaching, research or treatment of patients.
